Mujhe Saajan Ke Ghar Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Lajja
mehndi lagaake aayi
I came wearing henna;
bindiya sajaake aayi
I came adorned with a bindi.
mehndi lagaake aayi bindiya sajaake aayi
Henna on my hands, adorned with a bindi, I came.
chuuri khankaake aayi paayal chhankaake aayi
Bangles clashing, anklets jingling, I came.
ab git milan ke gaana hai gaana hai gaana hai
Now I must sing songs of our union;
mujhe saajan ke ghar jaana hai…
I must go to my husband’s home…
guriyaan patole the mahariya nishaaniya
My dolls, my friends, all the traces of my childhood,
yaad o rahe joriya
oh, my love, their memory will remain.
bachpan bita jawaani aayi…
But m y childhood has passed, womanhood is upon me…
saajan ka sandesa laayi
and it has brought a message from my beloved.
saiyyaanji ke sej ko jaake
Going to my husband’s bed,
phuulon se mahakaana hai
I must scent it with flowers.
mujhe saajan ke ghar jaana hai…
I must go to the home of my husband…
janm diya moh o piya to paraayiyaan ho jaandiyan
My love, those who gave birth to me have become strangers;
pal mein naata tor chali main
in one moment I broke our connection.
baabul ka ghar chhor chali main
I forsook my father’s home;
ab to piya ke desh mein saara jivan mujhe bitaana hai
now I must spend my whole life in my husband’s land.
mujhe saajan ke ghar jaana hai…
I must go to the home of my husband.
beti ki taqdir ka likha…
A daughter’s fate was written…
parhke mamta royi
reading it, those who loved her wept…
kisi ne isko janam diya
Someone gave birth to this girl,
aur le jaaye ise koi
and someone will take her away.
saj-dhaj ke aaye baaraati laaye ghore haathi
A resplendent wedding procession will come; elephants and horses will lead it.
teri shaadi ke mauqe pe
On the occasion of your wedding,
milke sehara gaayenge
as they garland the groom, the crowd will sing,
sadaa suhaagan rahe tu banno
may you forever remain a wife [suhaagan = specifically, wife to a living husband].
tujhe duwaayein de jaayenge
They’ll give you their good wishes and prayers.
aaj ki raina ham logon ko
Tonight, we
jhuum jhuumke gaana hai
must dance and sing!
mujhe saajan ke ghar jaana hai…
I must go to my husband’s home.
