chandni rat, taro ki barat hai
dil ki mehfil sajane me kya der hai kya der hai
dhadkane dil ki shehnayiya ban gayi
abb toh sajan ke aane me kya der hai kya der hai

meri zindagi mera pyar yad aa raha hai
aanewala hai jo, woh yad aa raha hai
sajan sajan teri dulhan tujhko pukare aaja
aakar mere hatho me mehndi tu hi racha ja
sajan sajan teri dulhan tujhko pukare aaja
aakar mere hatho me mehndi tu hi racha ja
aa ja, aa ja, aa ja

payal kajal kangan daman sare tujhe bulaye
aa ja sajan aa ja tere apne tujhe bulaye
aa ja, aa ja, sajan aa ja
mere mehbub, mere hamsafar tujhko kya pata
hai tujhe kya khabar, ehsan tere kitne hai mujhpar
rab pe yakin hai jitna, utna hai tujhpar
aa ja, aa ja, aa ja

mera mehbub mera sanam aa raha hai
ham toh marhi chuke the, phir janam aa raha hai
sajan sajan teri dulhan tujhko pukare aa ja
aakar mere hatho me mehndi tu hi racha ja
aa ja, aa ja, aa ja

chunri meri rangin huyi hai tere rang se sajan
aakar rang de mera ang ang apne rang se sajan
aa ja aa ja sajan aa ja
tumse wafaye bahut main karungi
kasam teri abb yeh dil kisi ko na dungi
aa tujhe bata du, mere dil mein kya hai
dil lenewale tujhe jan apni dungi
aa ja, aa ja, aa ja

dhadkane badh rahi hai, woh karib aa raha hai
khushnasibi banke mera woh nasib aa raha hai
sajan sajan teri dulhan tujhko pukare aa ja
aakar mere hatho mein mehndi tu hi racha ja
chandni rat, taro ki barat hai
dil ki mehfil sajne mein kya der hai kya der hai
dhadkane dil ki shehnayiya ban gayi
abb toh sajan ke aane me kya der hai kya der hai

The moonlit night, a starlit parade,
Why delay in adorning the heart's own glade?
My heartbeats, they've become shehnai's sweet call,
Now, for my beloved's arrival, why tarry at all?

My life, my love, a memory's embrace,
The one who's arriving, I yearn for his face.
Beloved, beloved, your bride calls out to you, come,
Come, and with henna, paint my hands, make them your home.
Beloved, beloved, your bride calls out to you, come,
Come, and with henna, paint my hands, make them your home.
Come, come, come.

Anklets, kohl, bangles, and garments all beckon you near,
Come, beloved, come, your own ones call, erase every fear.
Come, beloved, come.
My love, my companion, do you even know?
What news do you have, what obligations you bestow?
As much faith I have in God, in you the same glow,
Come, come, come.

My beloved, my darling, he's on his way,
We were dead, yet life is reborn this day.
Beloved, beloved, your bride calls out to you, come,
Come, and with henna, paint my hands, make them your home.
Come, come, come.

My veil, it's colored, by your love's hue,
Come, color my every limb, with your colors true.
Come, come, beloved, come.
I'll offer you loyalty untold,
By your oath, this heart to no other I'll hold.
Let me tell you, my heart, what is there inside,
O taker of my heart, I will give you my life as my guide.
Come, come, come.

My heart's beats quicken, he's drawing so near,
My fortune he comes, to banish all fear.
Beloved, beloved, your bride calls out to you, come,
Come, and with henna, paint my hands, make them your home.
The moonlit night, a starlit parade,
Why delay in adorning the heart's own glade?
My heartbeats, they've become shehnai's sweet call,
Now, for my beloved's arrival, why tarry at all?
