o re kaharo doli utaron,pal bhar ko theharo toh zara
dil se lagake bas ik dafa ve,dene ko gudiyon ko dua
teri bindiyan nikharke, chudiyan bikharke
chunari mein chehake,tera kazara ho kara
gazara ho pyara, angana tera mehake
tera jiyara re jhoome, piyara jo chumhein
tann mann yeh dumke

tohe anch na, aaye laaz na jaye,
ang, ang ye chamke takiyein pe tere tare bichayein,
chand ye tere liye, thumariyan gayein,
kheedki pe teri raat ki rani murkhiyan leke lori sunaye
soja, soja gudiya soja ankhyon se tu ojhal ho jaa,
ori subhah, ab na jaga,pal bhar ko theharo toh zaa-a-ra,

neend ye aadhi, sapna ye aadha,
poora toh hone do zaraa..
teri bindiyan nikharke chudiyan bikharke,
chunari mein chehake,tera kazara ho kara,
gajara ho pyara angana tera mehake,
tera jiyara re jhoome, piyara jo chumhein,
tann mann ye dumke,tohe anch na aaye laaz na jaye,
ang, ang ye chamke teri bindiyan nikharke hmm,
tera kazara ho kara, gajara ho pyara

O bearers, set the palanquin down,
Pause a moment, just a breath, allow.
To hold her close, just once to feel,
Let me bless my doll, my appeal.

Your bindi bright, bangles scattered wide,
In your veil, the songbird does reside.
Your kohl is dark, your garland sweet,
Your courtyard blooms, a fragrant feat.

Your heart will dance, as love does kiss,
Your body glows, in pure bliss.
No harm shall reach you, no shame to meet,
Each limb will shine, oh, so complete.
O bearers, set the palanquin down.

The cord is cut, your shadows fade,
The cord is cut, your shadows strayed.
Upon your pillow, stars I've laid,
The moon sings lullabies, serenaded.

At your window, the night queen waits,
With silent idols, she narrates.
Sleep now, sleep now, my little one,
From my eyes, your form is gone.
O morning, hush, do not arise,
Pause a moment, close your eyes.
Sleep is half, a dream untold,
Let the story now unfold.

Your bindi bright, bangles scattered wide,
In your veil, the songbird does reside.
Your kohl is dark, your garland sweet,
Your courtyard blooms, a fragrant feat.
Your heart will dance, as love does kiss,
Your body glows, in pure bliss.
No harm shall reach you, no shame to meet,
Each limb will shine, oh, so complete.
O bearers, set the palanquin down.

The cord is cut, your shadows fade,
The cord is cut, your shadows strayed.
Earrings, headpieces, nose pins too,
Each jewel removed, for me and you.
I give you blessings, hidden away,
Wear this veil of prayers, come what may.

Sleep now, sleep now, my little one,
From my eyes, your form is gone.
O bearers, lift the palanquin now,
Do not linger, not even how.
No evils here, no blessings to impart,
There is nothing more to give my heart.

Your bindi bright, bangles scattered wide,
In your veil, the songbird does reside.
Your kohl is dark, your garland sweet,
Your courtyard blooms, a fragrant feat.
Your heart will dance, as love does kiss,
Your body glows, in pure bliss.
No harm shall reach you, no shame to meet,
Each limb will shine, oh, so complete.

Your bindi bright, bangles scattered wide,
Your kohl is dark, your garland sweet.
Your heart will dance, no harm to find,
Bindi bright, bangles chime.
Your kohl is dark, yes, yes,
Your garland, sweet, yes, yes.
