Quick betrothal, then swift union,
Do not shatter the heart's communion.
Marriage is a maze of complications,
Leave behind these vexations.

Marriage will bring forth children and toil,
Those who feast without labour, recoil.
Marriage will bring forth children and toil,
Those who feast without labour, recoil.
This bond is woven with love's bright thread,
Embrace it with joy, instead.
Marriage is a maze of complications,
Leave behind these vexations.

Marriage, the band will play a tune,
Do not make a mess so soon.
Two days of Diwali, then comes the fall,
Do not be blinded, heed the call.
Marriage, the band will play a tune,
Do not make a mess so soon.
The world is filled with shadows untold,
Let the darkness go, let go.
Marriage is a maze of complications,
Leave behind these vexations.

Fair complexion, a heart of night,
Seeking to paint it with pure light.
A woman's mind, a milky bright hue,
Oh, dreamer, this is not true.
Fair complexion, a heart of night,
Seeking to paint it with pure light.
Give a heart and take one in return,
But do not turn away, do not spurn.
Marriage is a maze of complications,
Leave behind these vexations.
Quick betrothal, then swift union,
Do not shatter the heart's communion.
Oh, dear heavens, oh, sweet release!
Marriage is a maze of complications,
Leave behind these vexations.
