| Gaaye maiya aur mausi, gaaye behna aur bhabhi | Your mother, your aunt, your sister and your sister-in-law will sing |

| Gaaye phoofi aur chachi, gaaye nani aur dadi | Your aunts and your grandmas will sing |
| Ke mehndi mann bhaaye saj jaaye hariyali banni | In hope that the henna will adorn and please the bride |
| Mehndi roop sanware o mehndi rang nikhare o | May the henna bring out your beauty and your colour |
| Hariyali banni ke aanchal mein utrenge taare | Stars will come down into the bride's scarf |

| Teri mehndi woh dekhenge toh apna dil rakh denge woh | When he sees your henna |
| Pairon mein tere chupke se hariyali banni | Then he'll secretly place his heart in your feet |
| Mehndi roop sanware o mehndi rang nikhare o | May the henna bring out your beauty and your colour |
| Hariyali banni ke aanchal mein utrenge taare | Stars will come down into the bride's scarf |
