bindiya lagaungi maang sajaungi
bindiya lagaungi maang sajaungi
banke dulhaniya main pi ke ghar jaungi
bindiya lagaungi maang sajaungi
bindiya lagaungi maang sajaungi
banke dulhaniya main pi ke ghar jaungi
bindiya lagaungi maang sajaungi

jab kholenge hu, ghunghta mera ha
dekhungi unko nichi najar se
aur wo kahenge haye tadpana
lo ji kahungi kaam sabr se
sajna na na na
bindiya lagaungi maang sajaungi
bindiya lagaungi maang sajaungi
banke dulhaniya main pi ke ghar jaungi
bindiya lagaungi maang sajaungi

phir baaho me ha, dhar ke mujhko ho
puchhenge kya hai marji gori
dil chahega phir bhi kahungi
thik nahi ye jora jori
sajna na na na
bindiya lagaungi maang sajaungi
bindiya lagaungi maang sajaungi
banke dulhaniya main pi ke ghar jaungi
bindiya lagaungi maang sajaungi
bindiya lagaungi maang sajaungi

I will adorn myself with stars, part my hair with dawn,
I will adorn myself with stars, part my hair with dawn,
A bride I'll become, to my Beloved's home withdrawn,
I will adorn myself with stars, part my hair with dawn.

When they lift my veil, a hesitant grace,
I will meet their eyes with a downward gaze,
And they will sigh, "Oh, the pain, the sweet chase!"
I'll whisper, "Patience is wisdom's maze,"
My love, no, no, no.
I will adorn myself with stars, part my hair with dawn,
I will adorn myself with stars, part my hair with dawn,
A bride I'll become, to my Beloved's home withdrawn,
I will adorn myself with stars, part my hair with dawn.

Then, in their arms, a tender hold,
They'll ask, "What is your heart's desire, my gold?"
Though my heart yearns, I'll softly scold,
"Such haste, my love, a story untold,"
My love, no, no, no.
I will adorn myself with stars, part my hair with dawn,
I will adorn myself with stars, part my hair with dawn,
A bride I'll become, to my Beloved's home withdrawn,
I will adorn myself with stars, part my hair with dawn,
I will adorn myself with stars, part my hair with dawn.
