chhota sa sajan nanhi si dulhan
doli saji hui dwaar khadi hai
doli saji hui dwaar khadi hai

jiska vivah rachaya jaye
beti kaha abhi itni badi hai
beti kaha abhi itni badi hai

aaj hi le jayega wida kar
aaj hi le jayega wida kar
dulhe ne ye zid pakadi hai

beti puchhe babul se
are bhejne ki kya jaldi padi hai
beti puchhe babul se
are bhejne ki kya jaldi padi hai

A tiny groom, a bride so small,
A palanquin waits at the door,
A palanquin waits at the door.

The one they wed, so newly grown,
"My daughter, not yet ripe," they implore,
"My daughter, not yet ripe."

But today he’ll take her, bid farewell,
Today he'll take her, and none before,
The groom, his insistence held fast.

The daughter asks her father's soul,
"Oh Father, why this rush to withdraw?
Oh Father, why this rush to withdraw?"
