When my beloved's ring, I wear in dreams,
Lost in a reverie, it brightly gleams.
My eyes, like diamonds, start to shine,
I become a diamond, truly divine.
Bangles sing, *khan khana khan*,
Anklets chime, *chan chana chan*,
Bangles sing, *khan khana khan*,
Anklets chime, *chan chana chan*.
My eyes, so dark and kohl-lined deep,
My heart cries out, "Beloved, I weep!"
My every grace now starts to gleam,
A bride I'll be, it would seem.
Soon, my love and I shall meet,
A bride I'll be, my joy complete.
Diamond, diamond, diamond, bright,
A diamond bride, bathed in light.
Turmeric will grace my fair skin's fold,
Saffron flowers in my heart unfold.
Bathing in milk, I'll softly gleam,
Into silken threads, I now dream.
Henna's art upon my hands will bloom,
My lover's name, dispelling gloom.
Fragrance will descend, a sweet cascade,
A bride I'll be, serenaded.
Bangles sing, *khan khana khan*,
Anklets chime, *chan chana chan*,
Diamond, diamond, diamond, bright,
A diamond bride, bathed in light.
When the bindi on my brow will ignite,
My beloved's sleep will take flight.
The moon will pale, its light subdued,
Gazing on my forehead, understood.
This necklace, nose ring, earrings, dear,
My radiance, the stars will hold in fear.
All the constellations, near and far,
A bride I'll be, shining like a star.
Bangles sing, *khan khana khan*,
Anklets chime, *chan chana chan*,
Diamond, diamond, diamond, bright,
A diamond bride, bathed in light.
