mai hu dulhan ek raat ki tu hai dulha ek rat ka
mai hu dulhan ek raat ki tu hai dulha ek rat ka
mai hu bekhafa tu bhi hai bekhafa
hum bahana hai bas ek mulakat ka
mai hu dulhan ek raat ki tu hai dulha ek rat ka

mere ghungaru kabhi jhut kahte nahi
o mere ghungaru kabhi jhut kahte nahi
naam bhi yaad logo ke rahte nahi
kaun aaya gaya kya khabar kya pata kya khabar kya pata
kaun aaya gaya kya khabar kya pata
kaun aaya gaya kya khabar kya pata
yaar matlab samjh le meri bat ka
ho mai hu dulhan ek raat ki tu hai dulha ek rat ka

pyar ko chhod kuch dusari bat kar
pyar ko chhod kuch dusari bat kar ja ja ja
dekh aa ye zindagi mere sath chal
tune dil to diya dil ki kimat hai kya dil ki kimat hai kya
tune dil to diya tune dil to diya dil ki kimat hai kya
dil se mehnga hai kangan mere hath ka
ho mai hu dulhan ek raat ki tu hai dulha ek rat ka

tere hatho me mehandi lagaunga mai
doli me bitha ke le jaunga mai
tere hatho me mehandi lagaunga mai
doli me bitha ke le jaunga mai
ek dar hai magar umar bhar baithkar
umar bhar baithkar umar bhar baithkar
ek dar hai magar ek dar hai magar
umar bhar baithkar koi dekhga tamasha rat ka
mai hu dulhan ek raat ki tu hai dulha ek rat ka

I am the bride of a single night, you the groom of a single night,
I am the bride of a single night, you the groom of a single night.
I am fearless, as are you,
We are merely pretext for a single meeting's light.
I am the bride of a single night, you the groom of a single night.

My anklets never utter lies,
Oh, my anklets never lie.
Names fade from memory, the people, they don't stay,
Who came and went, what news, what to know, what to know?
Who came and went, what news, what to know?
Who came and went, what news, what to know?
Friend, grasp the meaning of my words, my plight.
I am the bride of a single night, you the groom of a single night.

Leave love aside, speak of something else,
Leave love aside, speak of something else, go, go, go.
Behold this life, walk with me, a dance to tell,
You gave a heart, but what is its worth, what is its worth?
You gave a heart, you gave a heart, but what is its worth?
More precious than the heart, the bangles on my hand's tight might.
I am the bride of a single night, you the groom of a single night.

I will adorn your hands with henna's art,
And carry you away in a palanquin's start.
I will adorn your hands with henna's art,
And carry you away in a palanquin's start.
A fear remains, yet, to sit for a lifetime,
For a lifetime to sit, for a lifetime to sit,
A fear remains, yet, a fear remains, yet,
To sit for a lifetime, and witness a night's heart.
I am the bride of a single night, you the groom of a single night.
