shadi karke dulha jab dulhan ko na le jaye
arey doli leke dulhan tab dulhe ko lene aaye
mere dulhe raja
o mere dulhe raja aaja aaja zara samne aaja
mere dulhe raja aaja re aaja zara samne aaja
tujhko lene ayi mai
arey tujhko lene aayi mai leke band baza
mere dulhe raja aaja zara samne aaja
mere dulhe raja aaja re aaja zara samne aaja

tere in ghar walo ne ae kya ulti rit banai
tere in ghar walo ne ae kya ulti rit banai
pahle to kardi shadi
aur bad me kare sagai sagai bad me kare sagai
kaisa ulta chakkar hai are kaisa ulta chakkar hai
balma mujhko samjha jaa
mere dulhe raja aaja zara samne aaja
mere dulhe raja aaja re aaja zara samne aaja

tune kiya jo wada o wada
tune kiya jo wada wo wada bhul na jana
mere rahte is ghar me meri sotan na le aana
ho meri sotan na le aana
nazare uthake dekh zara arey nazare uthake dekh zara
aise muh pher ke na ja
mere dulhe raja aaja zara samne aaja
mere dulhe raja aaja re aaja zara samne aaja

maine kuch jhuth na bola koi aisi bat kahi na
arey maine kuch jhuth na bola koi aisi bat kahi na
phir dekh ke mujhko saiyya kyu aaye tujhe pasina
kyu aaye tujhe pasina ghar ke andar le chal mujhe
arey ghar ke andar le chal mujhe ab khol bhi de darwajja
mere dulhe raja aaja zara samne aaja
mere dulhe raja aaja re aaja zara samne aaja
o raja zara samne aaja arey raja zara samne aaja

When the groom hesitates, the bride must arrive,
Not to be taken, but the groom to revive.
My king, my beloved,
Come forth, appear before me now,
My king, my beloved,
Come forth, appear before me now.
I come for you,
I come for you, with music's vow,
My king, my beloved,
Come forth, appear before me now,
My king, my beloved,
Come forth, appear before me now.

Your family, they've twisted the sacred way,
Your family, they've twisted the sacred way,
First the vows, then the union delayed,
The union delayed, so oddly displayed.
What a strange design, what a strange design,
My love, explain this to me, pray.
My king, my beloved,
Come forth, appear before me now,
My king, my beloved,
Come forth, appear before me now.

The promise you made, you must not disown,
The promise you made, you must not disown,
While I remain, let no other be shown,
No other be shown, in your dwelling known.
Look at me with eyes open wide,
Look at me with eyes open wide,
Do not turn away, do not now shun.
My king, my beloved,
Come forth, appear before me now,
My king, my beloved,
Come forth, appear before me now.

I spoke no falsehood, no deception's art,
I spoke no falsehood, no deception's art,
Then why, my love, does sweat your brow impart?
Why, my love, does sweat your brow impart?
Lead me in, oh, lead me in,
Open the door and let me depart.
My king, my beloved,
Come forth, appear before me now,
My king, my beloved,
Come forth, appear before me now.
Oh king, appear before me now,
Oh king, appear before me now.
