mehnadi hai rachi mere haatho me
jhaajhar hai bandhi mere panvo me
mehnadi hai rachi mere hatho me
jhajhar hai bandhi mere panvo me
o chakle mudiya chakle nachadi kudi nu chakle
nachadi kudi nu chakle

mauqa ye diya hai rab ne majur kiya hai sab ne
mauqa ye diya hai rab ne majur kiya hai sab ne
o chak de mudeya chak de nachadi kudi nu chak de
o chak de mudeya chak de nachadi kudi nu chak de
nachadi kudi nu chak de

nahi milna phir ye mauqa mausam hai armano ka
o mela hai gharavalo ka svagat hai mehmano ka
ye ghadi hai shaguno vali o
ye ghadi hai shaguno vali
hai rasam murado vali
o chak de mudiya chak de nachadi kudi nu chakde
nachadi kudi nu chakde

taro se mang sajegi tu meri dulhaniya banegi
le jayege chand chura ke s
haguno ki chunariya udha ke
phir der na kar sanvariya
le tham le meri chunariya
o chakle mudiya chakle nachadi kudi nu chakle
nachadi kudi nu chakle

ham hoge tere sajna ainu badh parade rakhna
o pahan le mera kagana tainu padega mainu chakana
na mar tu aisi boli le chak de meri doli
chal dhol baja ve dholi taiyar hai meri doli
mauqa ye diya hai rab ne majur kiya hai sab ne
mauqa ye diya hai rab ne majur kiya hai sab ne
o chak de mudeya chak de nachadi kudi nu chak de
o chak de mudeya chak de nachadi kudi nu chak de
nachadi kudi nu chak de

Upon my hands, henna's art does bloom,
And anklets whisper in the room.
Upon my hands, henna's art does bloom,
And anklets whisper in the room.
Oh, lift her high, ye men of cheer,
Lift high the dancing maiden here!
Lift high the dancing maiden here!

A chance divine, the heavens sent,
A blessing from the firmament.
A chance divine, the heavens sent,
A blessing from the firmament.
Oh, lift her high, ye men of might,
Lift high the dancing maiden bright!
Oh, lift her high, ye men of might,
Lift high the dancing maiden bright!
Lift high the dancing maiden bright!

This moment rare, a fleeting grace,
A season for love to embrace.
A family's fair, a welcoming sight,
For guests, a radiant, warm light.
This hour of omens, blessed and true,
This hour of omens, waits for you,
Traditions of wishes, shining through.
Oh, lift her high, ye men of cheer,
Lift high the dancing maiden here!
Lift high the dancing maiden here!

With stars, your parting hair will gleam,
My bride, fulfilled, you'll surely seem.
We'll steal the moon, a silver prize,
With blessings, veil your lovely eyes.
Don't tarry, Love, no time to lose,
Take hold of this, this love I choose.
Oh, lift her high, ye men of cheer,
Lift high the dancing maiden here!
Lift high the dancing maiden here!

I am yours, my love, forever bound,
Embrace me, love, safe and sound.
Wear now my bangles, shining bright,
For me, you'll be lifted to the light.
Speak not such words that cut so deep,
Lift high my palanquin, while I sleep.
Play, drummer, play, the drums' sweet call,
My palanquin is ready for us all!
A chance divine, the heavens sent,
A blessing from the firmament.
A chance divine, the heavens sent,
A blessing from the firmament.
Oh, lift her high, ye men of might,
Lift high the dancing maiden bright!
Oh, lift her high, ye men of might,
Lift high the dancing maiden bright!
Lift high the dancing maiden bright!
