gori ke mang me sindur kahi dur baze shehnai re
dil ko milan dil ko milan manjur pyar me nir ghata
lehrai re o ghata lehrai re o ghata lehrai re

jag gai kismat dulhan ki dhun mili hai piya charan ki
jag gai kismat dulhan ki dhun mili hai piya charan ki
janam janam ke liye aye pagli janam janam ke liye aye pagli
ho ja tu apne sajan ki ho ja tu apne sajan ki
dil me basa ke pyar kar le ikrar madhur ritu aai re
o madhur ritu aai re o madhur ritu aai re
gori ke mang me sindur kahi dur baze shehnai re
dil ko milan dil ko milan manjur pyar me nir ghata
lehrai re o ghata lehrai re o ghata lehrai re

Where the fair one's parting blooms, a distant shehnai sings,
The heart's embrace, the heart's embrace, love's water-cloud it brings,
A wave of tears, a wave of tears, the cloud begins to sway.

Awakened fate, the bride's own tune, the feet of her Beloved, soon,
Awakened fate, the bride's own tune, the feet of her Beloved, soon,
For every life, O heart so true, for every life, O heart so true,
Become your lover's, through and through, become your lover's, through and through,
Within your heart, let love reside, accept embrace, the sweet spring's tide,
Oh sweet spring's tide, oh sweet spring's tide.
Where the fair one's parting blooms, a distant shehnai sings,
The heart's embrace, the heart's embrace, love's water-cloud it brings,
A wave of tears, a wave of tears, the cloud begins to sway.
