piche barati aage band baja
aaye dulhe raja gori khol darwaja
piche barati aage band baja
aaye dulhe raja gori khol darwaja
piche barati aage band baja
aaye dulhe raja gori khol darwaja

laz sharam ki rekha ko par karle
na na na kar ha ha tu pyar karle
he laz sharam ki rekha ko par karle
na na na kar ha ha tu pyar karle
nachte gate teri gali hum aayenge
tujhko uthake gori hum le jayenge
apni marzi se aaja dil me shama ja
aaye dulhe raja gori khol darwaja

aaja sanam teri kasam kahi meri majburiya haye
ban na jaye mere hatho ki chudiya
tera nam liya tujhe yaad kiya
teri yado ne mujhe tham liya
aa mere sanam ab waqt hai kam
hotho pe hai dam mujhe teri kasam
aankho me aasu dil me hai gum
aaja aaja tu hai kaha mere sapno ke raja
raja raja aaja aaja raja raja aaja aaja

mehandi lagale solah singar karle
dulhan banja khud ko tyar kar le
ho mehandi lagale solah singar karle
dulhan banja kahud ko tyar kar le
kab se na jane tere piche pada hu
dekh tere ghar ke samne khada hu
mai andar aau ya bahar tu aaja
aaye dulhe raja gori khol darwaja
piche barati aage band baja
aaye dulhe raja gori khol darwaja

Behind, the revelers, ahead, the band's bright call,

Behind, the revelers, ahead, the band's bright call,

Surpass the lines of modesty's decree,
From "no, no, no" to "yes, yes," embrace me.
Surpass the lines of modesty's decree,
From "no, no, no" to "yes, yes," embrace me.
Dancing, singing, through your lane we'll roam,
And lift you, maiden, to carry you home.
By your own will, come, within my heart reside,
The groom arrives, my love, open your door, reside.

Come, my love, I swear, my helplessness you see,
Lest my hands become your destiny.
I spoke your name, remembered you with grace,
Your memories embraced my aching space.
Come, my love, the moments quickly flee,
My breath, my life, I swear, belong to thee.
Tears in my eyes, sorrow in my soul,
Come, oh come, my king of dreams, make me whole.
King, oh king, come, oh come, king, oh king, come, oh come.

Apply the henna, adorn yourself with all sixteen,
Become the bride, and prepare to be seen.
Apply the henna, adorn yourself with all sixteen,
Become the bride, and prepare to be seen.
For so long, I've followed, by your walls I wait,
Before your door, I stand and anticipate.
Shall I come in, or will you emerge and be,
The groom arrives, my love, open your door, for me.
Behind, the revelers, ahead, the band's bright call,
The groom arrives, my love, open your door, enthrall.
