meri pyari bahaniya banegi dulhaniya
meri pyari bahaniya banegi dulhaniya
saj ke aayenge dulhe raja
bhaiya raja bajayega baaja
bhaiya raja bajayega baaja
meri pyari bahaniya banegi dulhaniya

solha singar meri bahna karegi
solha singar meri bahna karegi
tika chadhega aur haldi lagegi
bahna ke hontho pe jhulegi nathniya
aur jhumenge dulhe raja
bhaiya raja bajayega baaja
bhaiya raja bajayega baaja
meri pyari bahaniya banegi dulhaniya

sej pe baithegi to doli pe chalegi
sej pe baithegi to doli pe chalegi
dharti pe bahna rani paanv na dharegi
palko ki paalki pe bahna ko bitha ke
le jayenge dulhe raja
bhaiya raja bajayega baaja
bhaiya raja bajayega baaja
meri pyari bahaniya banegi dulhaniya

sajna ke ghar chali jayegi jo bahna
sajna ke ghar chali jayegi jo bahna
honth hansenge mere, royenge ye naina
rakhiya ke roj rani bahna ko bulaunga
leke aayenge dulhe raja
bhaiya raja bajayega baaja
bhaiya raja bajayega baaja
meri pyari bahaniya banegi dulhaniya
saj ke aayenge dulhe raja
bhaiya raja bajayega baaja
bhaiya raja bajayega baaja
meri pyari bahaniya banegi dulhaniya

My darling sister, a bride she'll be,
My darling sister, her destiny.
The groom, a king, will arrive in grace,
Her brother will play the joyous bass.
Her brother will play the joyous bass,
My darling sister, a bride's embrace.

Sixteen adornments, my sister's art,
Sixteen adornments to mend the heart.
A tika will grace, and turmeric's gold,
A nose ring upon, a story told.
The groom will then dance, a joyful sight,
Her brother will play with all his might.
Her brother will play with all his might,
My darling sister, bathed in light.

From the bed she'll rise, to a palanquin's sway,
From the bed she'll rise, to her wedding day.
On earth, my queen, your feet won't tread,
Upon lashes, your path is led.
The groom will then take, the journey's start,
Her brother will play with a joyful heart.
Her brother will play with a joyful heart,
My darling sister, a brand new start.

To her beloved's home, my sister will roam,
To her beloved's home, far from her home.
My lips will smile, though my eyes will weep,
I'll call my queen, her promise to keep.
The groom will then come, his love to impart,
Her brother will play, a brand new start.
Her brother will play with a joyful heart,
My darling sister, a brand new start.
The groom, a king, will arrive in grace,
Her brother will play the joyous bass.
Her brother will play the joyous bass,
My darling sister, a bride's embrace.
