kab aankh ladaayi kya jaane
kya jaane, kya jaane
kab kudi pataayi kya jaane
kya jaane, kya jaane
kab huyi re sagaayi kya jaane
baaje kab shahnaayi kya jaane
ho jab dulhan ghar aa gayi
hume to tab khabar lagi
ho jab dulhan ghar aa gayi
hume to tab khabar lagi
kab aankh ladaayi kya jaane
kya jaane, kya jaane
kab kudi pataayi kya jaane
kya jaane, kya jaane

phirta tha jo udata
dekho uski bhi ho gayi shaadi
dekho uski bhi ho gayi shaadi
raam kare is ghar me
nanhe munno se ho aabadi
nanhe munno se ho aabadi
lambi to hoti thodi to achhi jamti jodi
lambi to hoti thodi to achhi jamti jodi
raani kaha se aayi kya jaane
kaise raja ko jaane kya jaane
ho jab dulhan ghar aa gayi
hume to tab khabar lagi
ho jab dulhan ghar aa gayi
hume to tab khabar lagi
kab aankh ladaayi kya jaane
kya jaane, kya jaane
kab kudi pataayi kya jaane
kya jaane, kya jaane

ho o o, ho o o
aa aa aa, o o o o
itne saare sukh hai aur chhota sa aanchal
o o aaj ki ye khushiya
mujhe kar de naa paagal
paagal to hum ho gaye
tere pyar me kho gaye
jheel si aankhe teri chehar khila kamal
sar se lekar paanv tak tu hai koi gajal
aap hum din din kareeb aate rahe
ye gajal bas aap hi gaate rahe
kab man me samaayi kya jaane
kab huyi mai paraayi kya jaane
jab sajan ke ghar aa gayi
haaye re tab khabar lagi
jab sajan ke ghar aa gayi
haaye re tab khabar lagi
kab aankh ladaayi kya jaane
kya jaane, kya jaane
kab kudi pataayi kya jaane
kya jaane, kya jaane

koi laaye gahne
koi shaadi ka laaye joda
koi shaadi ka laaye joda
dulhan ke baabul ne
dekho deena dahej me ghoda
dekho deena dahej me ghoda
dulhe ka naseeba aisa mila ghoda chetak jaisa
dulhe ka naseeba aisa mila ghoda chetak jaisa
kaha bati re mithaayi kya jaane
kis kisne udaayi kya jaane
ho jab dulhan ghar aa gayi
hume to tab khabar lagi
ho jab dulhan ghar aa gayi
hume to tab khabar lagi

When did eyes first meet, who can say?
Who can say, who can say?
When did the maiden yield, who can say?
Who can say, who can say?
When did the vows entwine, who can say?
When did the shehnai play, who can say?
When the bride arrived at home,
Only then did we know.
When the bride arrived at home,
Only then did we know.
When did eyes first meet, who can say?
Who can say, who can say?

He who once flew, unmoored and free,
Now finds himself bound in matrimony.
May this house overflow, by grace,
With babes of the human race.
Were she a little taller, a better match would be,
Where did the queen come from, who can say?
How did she capture the king's heart, who can say?
When the bride arrived at home,
Only then did we know.
When the bride arrived at home,
Only then did we know.
When did eyes first meet, who can say?
Who can say, who can say?

Ho o o, ho o o
Aa aa aa, o o o o
So many joys, and such a small embrace,
Oh, these celebrations, threaten to erase
My sanity, to drive me mad.
Lost are we in love's sweet gladness.
Your eyes, a tranquil lake, your face, a blooming lotus,
From head to toe, you are a song divine.
Day by day, we drew closer in time,
This song, only for you, we did intwine.
When did you enter my heart, who can say?
When did I become a stranger, who can say?
When I arrived at my beloved's home,
Alas, only then did I come to know.
When did eyes first meet, who can say?
Who can say, who can say?

Some bring jewels,
Some bring the bridal gown,
The bride's father, behold,
Gave a horse in dowry, renowned.
The groom's fate, such a blessing,
A horse like Chetak, possessing.
Where was the sweetness shared, who can say?
Who tasted it all, who can say?
When the bride arrived at home,
Only then did we know.
