The guests will soon arrive, I know,
Hurry now, let tasks all go.
Waste not this evening's mystic gleam,
Waste not this evening's vibrant dream.
Tonight, the lightning's fiery show,
Tonight, where sparks of passion glow.
Wait a while, dear, let your essence shine,
Adjust your garland, exquisitely design.
Dark kohl in eyes, let shadows play,
Oh, tonight, where lightnings sway!
My wicked one, apply a gentle touch,
Blend my lipstick, oh so much.
My braid undone, my veil takes flight,
Your blouse's hook, caught in my hair so bright.
My clip now lost, you laugh, it's true!
Call your beloved, let him see you through.
Let him find the clip, let your blouse be anew,
Let the lightning strike, tonight, for me and you.
Hey, comrades, whose wedding is it, tell?
Oh, sister, you won't grasp this spell!
Binny, dear, you cannot see,
How many glances flit so free?
Whether a friend's or someone's plight,
The secret battles of the night.
How boys are charmed, and grooms ensnared,
The hidden games, so deftly dared.
So, noble girls, with beauty's grace,
Let loose the storm upon this place!
On this side, we, a line so fair,
And on that side? Bachelors everywhere!
Oh, tonight, where lightnings play,
Tonight, where shadows hold their sway.
Binny, elder, wise and deep,
Why in this wedding field, do you alone keep?
So heed our words, and do not stray,
Or lonely still, you’ll find your way.
