tere hi naam ki dekh sanwariya
odh li maine laal chunariya
tere hi naam ki dekh sanwariya

maang meri sindur ko tarse
chitwan tarse bindiya ko
hath mere mehandi ko tarse
naina tarse nindiya ko
naina tarse nindiya ko
ab to aaja, ghir ghir aayi
sawan ki ye pahli badariya
tere hi naam ki dekh sanwariya
odh li maine laal chunariya
tere hi naam ki dekh sanwariya

By your name, Beloved, I see,
And drape myself in crimson decree.
By your name, Beloved, I see.

My parting yearns for vermilion's grace,
My gaze for the jewel that adorns my face.
My hands for henna, a painted embrace,
My eyes for slumber, a tranquil space.
My eyes for slumber, a peaceful place.
Now come to me, as clouds gather near,
The first monsoon's tears, crystal and clear.
By your name, Beloved, I see,
And drape myself in crimson decree.
By your name, Beloved, I see.
