| Purab mein suraj ne chhedi |
When the sun in the east |
| Jab kirno ki shehnaai |
Played the music of sunrays |
| Chamak utha sindoor gagan pe |
Then the red colour was shining in the sky |
| Pashchim tak laali chaayi |
The redness was there all the way to the west |
|

The bride is leaving wearing a |
| Ho re dulhan chali o pehan chali teen rang ki choli |
