mausam tha wo garmi ka din tha shayad chhuti ka
tu tha ghoda gadi me mai thi pili sadi me
dekh ke achhi chhav teri tune gadi rok li

ho kudiye, ye pehli mulakat hai
haye jani kesi bat hai
ye pehli mulakat hai haye jani kesi bat hai
mujhko aisa lagta hai mera dil ye kahta hai
shadi ki shuruvat hai
ye pehli mulakat hai haye jane kaisi bat hai
mujhko aisa lagta hai mera dil ye kahta hai
shadi ki shuruvat hai
ye pehli mulakat hai haye jane kaisi bat hai

milte the hum chhup chhup kar
sham sawere zuhu par
sath me khana khate thi sath me pikchar jate thi
khul gayi chori ek din roti thi main tere bin
chahe mane koi bura premi hoge nahi zuda
malik apne sath hai
ye pehli mulakat hai haye jane kaisi bat hai
mujhko aisa lagta hai mera dil ye kahta hai
shadi ki shuruvat hai
ye pehli mulakat hai haye jane kaisi bat hai

samjhaya kuch mummy ne dhamkaya kuch daddy ne
bat na unki mani mai ho gayi thi diwani mai
beti thi mai ladli mane maa ne shadi man li
jo socha tha hua wahi mai to teri dulhan bani
aaj milan ki rat hai
ye pehli mulakat hai haye jane kaisi bat hai
mujhko aisa lagta hai mera dil ye kahta hai
shadi ki shuruvat hai
ye pehli mulakat hai haye jane kaisi bat hai

The season, a fever of sun, a holiday's haze,
You, in a horse-drawn carriage, I, in a saree of gold.
Seeing the cool shade of you, you halted your ride.
Oh, maiden, this first encounter,
What a strange, unfathomed word.
This first encounter, what a strange, unfathomed word.
It feels to me, my heart whispers low,
The wedding's beginning.
This first encounter, what a strange, unfathomed word.
It feels to me, my heart whispers low,
The wedding's beginning.
This first encounter, what a strange, unfathomed word.

We met in secret, hidden away,
Evenings and mornings, at Juhu's shore.
We ate together, shared cinema's glow,
My secret breached, one day I wept without you.
Though the world may disapprove, lovers we'll never part.
The divine is with us.
This first encounter, what a strange, unfathomed word.
It feels to me, my heart whispers low,
The wedding's beginning.
This first encounter, what a strange, unfathomed word.

My mother's warnings, my sister's stern decree,
I disregarded their words, lost to the madness of love.
A cherished daughter, my mother accepted our union,
What was imagined, became reality, I became your bride.
Tonight, a night of reunion.
This first encounter, what a strange, unfathomed word.
It feels to me, my heart whispers low,
The wedding's beginning.
This first encounter, what a strange, unfathomed word.
