Mahalo kaa raajaa milaa
Ke raanee beṭee raaj karegee
Khushee khushee kar do biṛaa
Tumhaaree beṭee raaj karegee
Galiyȯ galiyȯ dhoom machegee
Kaandhe kaandhe ḍoli chalegee
Ḍolee mė ḍolegaa jiyaa
Ke raanee beṭee raaj karegee
Khushee khushee…
Jis ghar jaaye svarg banaa de
Donȯ kul kee laaj nibhaa de
Yahee baabul jee denge duaa
Ke raanee beṭee raaj karegee
Khushee khushee…
Beṭee to hai dhan hee paraayaa
Paas apne koee kab rakh paayaa
Bhaaree karnaa naa apnaa jiyaa
Tumhaaree beṭee raaj karegee
Mahalo kaa …
Our child will be a queen in her palace. Be happy for our daughter at her marriage for she will rule her palace with great happiness.
The streets celebrate as they take the doli on their shoulders. They know that the occupant of the doli will run her new home with happiness
Make a heaven where you go, O beloved daughter. Fulfill the honor of both your parents and partner. This is your father’s prayer.
Your daughter will be someone else’s happiness. You cannot keep her from her happiness. Do not make your life sad, know that she will be a queen in her palace.
Anokhi Raat (1968); Lata Mangeshkar
