teri ummed humne lakho moti boye
banni teri ummed humne lakho moti boye
banni apni banni ko dulhan bana ke
apni banni ko dulhan bana ke
chehre me laali ambar se
chameli ki kaliya
ho mori rani o maharani
banni teri ummed humne lakho moti boye
banni teri ummed humne

kaale kaale baalo me motiyan kaare
kaale kaale baalo me motiyan kaare
baadal ke aanchal se jhank rahe sare
baadal ke aanchal se jhank rahe sare
taaro ki jhilmil chunri odha ke
taaro ki jhilmil chunri odha ke
angana me laagi amar bel
chameli ki kaliya
ho mori rani o maharani
banni teri ummed humne lakho moti boye
banni teri ummed humne

gore gore maathe pe jhumar jhamke
gore gore maathe pe jhumar jhamke
jaise phulo ka chanda chamke
jaise phulo ka chanda chamke
chanda se mukhde pe bindiya laga ke
chanda se mukhde pe bindiya laga ke
gaalo pe laali ambar se
chameli ki kaliya
ho mori rani o maharani
banni teri ummed humne lakho moti boye
banni teri ummed humne

We sowed a million pearls, your hope,
Bride, your hope, we sowed a million pearls.
To make our bride a bride,
To make our bride a bride,
Crimson bloom upon her face from the heavens,
Jasmine buds,
Oh my queen, oh my queen,
Bride, your hope, we sowed a million pearls,
Bride, your hope, we sowed.

In her raven hair, pearls shimmer,
In her raven hair, pearls shimmer,
As stars peek from the clouds' veil,
As stars peek from the clouds' veil,
Draped in a twinkling shawl of stars,
Draped in a twinkling shawl of stars,
Everlasting vine takes root in the courtyard,
Jasmine buds,
Oh my queen, oh my queen,
Bride, your hope, we sowed a million pearls,
Bride, your hope, we sowed.

On her fair brow, the pendant sways,
On her fair brow, the pendant sways,
Like the moon of flowers does gleam,
Like the moon of flowers does gleam,
Adorning her moon-like face with a gem,
Adorning her moon-like face with a gem,
Crimson on her cheeks from the heavens,
Jasmine buds,
Oh my queen, oh my queen,
Bride, your hope, we sowed a million pearls,
Bride, your hope, we sowed.
