dulahaniya batade re ghunghta hatake
dulahaniya batade re ghunghta hatake
ho batiya sunaye re ghunghta hatake
sajna ke sang haye albele rang
ho kaise kaise rang me ha kheli hamjoli
dulahaniya batade re ghunghta hatake
ho batiya sunaye re ghunghta hatake
kahe sarmaye tu kahe hiklaye tu
bat kahne se haye haye kahe
ghabraye tu chhupke wo aaya hoga
chhupke wo aaya hoga kaise man pe
chaya hoga balo se balo se ha lagai hogi holi
dulahaniya batade re ghunghta hatake
ho batiya sunaye re ghunghta hatake

nahi chedo mohe kaise kah du tohe
hosh me re sakhi aj khoye khoye naino me chayi lali
naino me chayi lali kahti hai bat nirali
ankho hi ankho se boli hogi mithi boli
dulahaniya batade re ghunghta hatake
ho batiya sunaye re ghunghta hatake

paas aye piya mera dhadka jiya
boli mukh se na mai par sab kah diya
nas nas me chayi aise nas nas me chayi aise
radha ke sham ho jaise baho ki chaw me kheli ankh micholi
dulahaniya batade re ghunghta hatake
ho batiya sunaye re ghunghta hatake
dulahaniya bataye re ghunghta hatake
ho batiya sunaye re ghunghta hatake

Unveil, O bride, lift the veil's soft grace,
Unveil, and let your secrets embrace.
Tell us, dear, what whispers took flight,
As you met your love in the fading light.
With your beloved, in hues so bright,
How did the playmates revel in light?
Unveil, O bride, lift the veil's soft grace,
Tell us, dear, what whispers took place.

Why this shyness, this hesitant plea?
Why tremble so, when speaking is free?
He came in secret, unseen, unheard,
How did he paint your soul, every word?
From your tresses, a painted embrace,
He played the Holi, in time and space.
Unveil, O bride, lift the veil's soft grace,
Tell us, dear, what whispers took place.

Do not tease, I dare not speak,
Lost in the haze, my senses weak.
In my eyes, the blush did bloom,
My eyes, they speak, dispelling gloom.
With glances, a tale untold,
Sweet whispers, a story unfolds.
Unveil, O bride, lift the veil's soft grace,
Tell us, dear, what whispers took place.

My love drew near, my heart took flight,
My lips stayed sealed, but spoke in light.
He filled my veins, a blissful art,
Like Radha's Shyam, within my heart.
In the shelter of arms, a playful dance,
Where eyes did meet, in a loving trance.
Unveil, O bride, lift the veil's soft grace,
Tell us, dear, what whispers took place.
Unveil, O bride, lift the veil's soft grace,
Tell us, dear, what whispers took place.
