layi hai mehandi wali rat apne ghar khushiya
layi hai lal chunariya layi hai mehandi wali rat
apne ghar khushiya layi hai lal chunariya
nile pile rang khushiya nile pile rang khushiya
ye mehandi sindur ye bindiya ye mehandi sindur ye bindiya
lagti hai ek bar layi hai mehandi wali rat
apne ghar khushiya layi hai lal chunariya nile pile rang khushiya

ye na pucho pyar ki mehandi kaisi hai aji kaisi hai
sajan pise rang layegi aisi hai aji aisi hai
sajan pise rang layegi aisi hai layi hai mehandi wali rat
apne ghar khushiya layi hai lal chunariya nile pile rang khushiya
lovely kudi sona munda lovely kudi munda gunda
dekho chakkar chala gaya hai samdhi bada sayana
meri bitiya leke akde ho gaya mai
begana dekho chakkar chala gaya hai

samdhi bada sayana meri bitiya leke akde ho gaya mai begana
are sun bhai samdhi bad bad na kar bad bad se kya hoga
teri bitiya ban gayi pagle mere ghar ki sobha
aa lag ja gale mere yaar aai ghar khshiya layi hai mehandi wali rat
apne ghar khushiya layi hai lal chunariya nile pile rang khushiya

mamta dekhi na thi mujhko mamta ka bhandar mila
log to dhunde ek maa mujhko do maao ka pyar mila
ghar bar mila mujhe pyar mila ye khushiyo ka bhandar mila
sapne me jo dekha karti thi waisa hi ghar sansar mila
kaisi beti mili hai hamko aate hi rulaya khushi ke aasu chhalke
itna pyar simat nahi paya itna pyar simat nahi paya
itna pyar simat nahi paya layi hai mehandi wali rat
apne ghar khushiya layi hai lal chunariya nile pile rang khushiya

The night of henna arrives, happiness blooms at home,
Crimson veils, hues of blue and gold, happiness.
Blue and gold, a riot of colors,
These hennaed hands, vermilion, the bindis gleam,
A single moment, the night of henna arrives,
Bringing happiness home, with crimson veils, blue and gold.

Do not ask the love-henna's shade, how it is, how it is,
The beloved grinds the color, it will be thus, it will be.
The beloved grinds the color, it will be thus,
Do not ask the love-henna's shade,
The beloved grinds the color, it will be thus.
The night of henna arrives,
Bringing happiness home, with crimson veils, blue and gold.

Lovely maiden, golden youth, a lovely maiden, a rogue,
See, the game has begun, the in-laws, so wise,
My daughter they've claimed, I am left a stranger.

Oh, in-law, cease your chatter, what good are words?
Your daughter, a jewel, now graces my home,
Come, embrace me, my friend, happiness arrives!
The night of henna arrives,
Bringing happiness home, with crimson veils, blue and gold.

I had not known maternal love, a treasure now found,
While others seek one mother, I have two mothers' embrace,
A home overflowing with love, a treasure of joy,
The world I dreamt of, now my reality.
What a daughter we've found, she brought tears of joy,
So much love, it cannot be contained,
So much love, it cannot be contained,
So much love, it cannot be contained.
The night of henna arrives,
Bringing happiness home, with crimson veils, blue and gold.
