Thunder crashed and rain poured down,
and now it has all calmed down.
Opening the doorway of our hearts,
the two have become one.
Thunder crashed and rain poured down,
and now it has all calmed down.
Opening the doorway of our hearts,
the two have become one.
The longing that grew step by step
has fully blossomed today.
The anger that flared in the panchayat (village council)
has vanished halfway.

The anger that flared in the panchayat (village council)

Taking pots full of honey,
your eyes offer it to me.
Taking pots full of honey,
your eyes offer it to me.
Feet that once ran
briskly and freely without care,
now pause and hesitate.
Feet that once walked so briskly,
now pause and hesitate.
The restless tiger that rushed away
now stands poised to pounce!

now stands poised to pounce!
Watching it, overwhelmed with a dizzy spell,
my eyes gently close.
Watching it, overwhelmed with a dizzy spell,

Thunder crashed and rain poured down,

Opening the doorway of our hearts,

The moment I enter my mother-in-law's home as a bride,
there will be songs of joy.
The moment I enter my mother-in-law's home as a bride,

And after ten months pass by,
a lullaby will be sung.

Hearing me call out lovingly,
"Athaan, athaan" (my dear husband),

making a loud noise,
our child will sing
a sweet musical song.
