hey ram ram maheki yeh alke hai
hey ram ram sharmili palke hai
hey ram ram naino me diye jalte hai
sun sun goriya kya bole tera kangana
ankhiya bole sang bole mitha sapna
hamko na bhulna, o hamko na bhulna

gora gora chand sa mukhda, kajal wale nain
gora gora chand sa mukhda, kajal wale nain
nathni jhumka harwa bindiya bole mithe bain
hamko na bhulna, o hamko na bhulna

lal yeh chunariya teri mehndi range hath
lal yeh chunariya teri mehndi range hath
tujhse pehle sajan se khud kar lenge yeh baat
tujhse pehle sajan se khud kar lenge yeh baat
phul bichhe honge jahan panv dharogi
rajaji key ghar me jake raj karogi
hamko na bhulna, ae hamko na bhulna

mata pita ke ye naina bane jaldhara
mata pita ke ye naina bane jaldhara
tum to chali jaogi mann royega hamara
doliya me baithke gori
doliya me baithke gori jao pi ke dwar
doliya me baithke gori jao pi ke dwar
sasural jit gaya naihar gaya har
hamko na bhulna, o hamko na bhulna

gora gora chand sa mukhda, kajal wale nain
gora gora chand sa mukhda, kajal wale nain
nathni jhumka harwa bindiya bole mithe bain
hamko na bhulna, o hamko na bhulna
sun sun goriya kya bole tera kangana
ankhiya bole sang bole mitha sapna
hamko na bhulna o hamko na bhulna
o hamko na bhulna rey hamko na bhulna

Oh, Rama, Rama, fragrance in your tresses,
Oh, Rama, Rama, shy are your lashes.
Oh, Rama, Rama, lamps ignite in your eyes.
Listen, maiden, what your bangles say,
Your eyes speak, with them, a sweet dream does play,
Do not forget us, oh, do not forget us, pray.

A face like the moon, so fair, eyes lined with kohl,
A face like the moon, so fair, eyes lined with kohl,
Nose ring, earrings, necklace, bindi speak sweet words,
Do not forget us, oh, do not forget us, pray.

Red is your veil, your hands are henna-dyed,
Red is your veil, your hands are henna-dyed,
Before you, we will speak with your beloved,
Before you, we will speak with your beloved,
Where you step, flowers will be strewn,
In the king's home, you will reign soon,
Do not forget us, oh, do not forget us, pray.

Your parents' eyes, a stream of tears,
Your parents' eyes, a stream of tears,
You will depart, our hearts will weep,
In a palanquin, my dear,
In a palanquin, my dear, to your husband's door you go,
In a palanquin, my dear, to your husband's door you go,
The in-laws have won, your childhood home now weeps,
Do not forget us, oh, do not forget us, pray.

A face like the moon, so fair, eyes lined with kohl,
A face like the moon, so fair, eyes lined with kohl,
Nose ring, earrings, necklace, bindi speak sweet words,
Do not forget us, oh, do not forget us, pray.
Listen, maiden, what your bangles say,
Your eyes speak, with them, a sweet dream does play,
Do not forget us, oh, do not forget us, pray.
Oh, do not forget us, oh, do not forget us, pray.
