MEHNDI LAGA KE RAKHNA
Yeh kudiyan nashe diya pudiyaan
These girls are like sweet poison
Yeh munde gali de gunde
These boys are troublemakers
Nashe diya pudiyaan
Sweet poison
Gali de gunde
Troublemakers
Mehndi lagake rakhna
Make sure the bride's hands are painted with henna
Doli sajaa ke rakhna
Make sure the bride's palanquin is ready
Lene tujhe o gori ayenge tere sajna
O beauty, your beloved is coming to take you away
Sehra sajaake rakhna, chehra chupaake rakhna
Make sure you come with your face hidden behind the bridegroom's sehra*
(*Sehra is a headdress worn by the groom, which has garlands hanging that covers the face)
Yeh dil ki baat apne, dil mein dabaake rakhna
The secret of love is hidden in your hearts
Mehndi lagake rakhna......
Make sure the bride's hands are painted with henna
Ud udke teri zulfein, karti hai kya ishaare
Your flowing hair gives an impression gesture
Dil thaamke khade hain, aashiq sabhi kunwaare
All the lovesick bachelors are anxiously waiting for your acceptance
Chhup jaaye saari kudiyaan, ghar mein sharam ke maare
The girls are shy, hiding inside the house
Gaaon mein aa gaye hain, pagal shaher ke saare
for there are crazy men from town come to our village
Nazrein jhukaake rakhna, daaman bachaake rakhna
Your downcast eyes, shy and modesty
Lene tujhe o gori ayenge tere sajna
O beauty, your beloved is coming to take you away
Mehndi lagake rakhna......
Make sure the bride's hands are painted with henna
Main ek jawan ladka, tu ek haseen ladki
I'm a young boy, you're a pretty girl
Yeh dil machal gaya to, mera kusoor kya hai
If my heart falls for you, that's not my fault
Rakhna tha dil pe kaabu, yeh husn to hai jadu
You should've held your heart, for this beauty is magic
Jadu yeh chal gaya to, mera kusoor kya hai
If the magic is working, that's not my fault
Rasta hamara takna, darwaza khula rakhna
Just wait for me, don't close the door of your heart
Lene tujhe o gori ayenge tere sajna
O beauty, your beloved is coming to take you away
Kuch aur ab na kehna, kuch aur ab na karna
Say no more now, do no more now
Yeh dil ki baat apne, dil mein dabaake rakhna
keep the secret of love in your soul
Mehndi lagake rakhna......
Make sure the bride's hands are painted with henna
LYRICS FROM THE SOUNDTRACK:
Ghar Aaja Pardesi
Ho Gaya Hai Tujhko To Pyar Sajna
Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna
Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye
Rukh Jaa O Dil Deewane
Tujhe Dekha To Yeh Jaana Sanam
Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main
