hatho me mehndi lagai
huum mehndi laga ke main sharmaai
hatho me mehndi lagai
huum mehndi laga ke main sharmaai
mithe mithe sapno me khone lagi hun
kyu mian divani hone lagi
preet mere dil me jaga di
hari hari mehndi laga di o ho

kaliyo ko bhaunvra khilaye
mehndi pyaar jaga ke jaye
kaliyo ko bhaunvra khilaye
mehndi pyaar jaga ke jaye

kya main dulhan si lagne lagi hun
kali mere dil ki khila di
hari hari mehndi laga di

in palms, in palms,
green, green henna they applied,
green, green henna they applied, oh ho.

In hands, henna they have placed,
ashamed, with henna, I am graced,
oh, oh, in hands, henna they have placed,
ashamed, with henna, I am graced.
In sweet, sweet dreams, I start to drift,
why, a madwoman, my heart is lift?
Love within my heart, awakened,
green, green henna they have beckoned, oh ho.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Bees the buds have kissed,
henna love has now enlisted,
bees the buds have kissed,
henna love has now enlisted.
To my friends, I now confess,
do I look a bride, I now press?
A bud within my heart, now unfurled,
green, green henna upon the world.
