Rakh Laaj

Chorus

Rakh laaj meri sindoor ki, Gaura Parvati

Protect the honour of my sindoor, O Gaura Parvati

Rakh laaj meri sindoor ki

Protect the honour of my sindoor

Shiv Shankar ki pyari, Gaura Parvati

Beloved of Shiv Shankar, O Gaura Parvati

Mohe ek tera hi aasra

You alone are my refuge

Tu hi taranhari, Gaura Parvati

You alone are my saviour, O Gaura Parvati

Rakh laaj meri sindoor ki

Protect the honour of my sindoor

Hari Har ka man harne wali

You who steal the heart of Hari and Har

Tu satiyon mein maha sati

Among sati women you are the greatest sati

Tujhsa kiska tap hai jispe

Whose tapa is like yours, that

Dol gaye Kailashpati

Even the Lord of Kailash was moved

Main dukhiyari hoon, main dukhiyari

I am sorrowful, I am sorrowful

Sab kuch hari, aayi sharan tihari

I have lost all; I come to your refuge

Gaura Parvati

O Gaura Parvati

Rakh laaj meri sindoor ki

Protect the honour of my sindoor

Shiv Shankar ki pyari, Gaura Parvati

Beloved of Shiv Shankar, O Gaura Parvati

Rakh laaj meri sindoor ki

Protect the honour of my sindoor

Aanchal mein tum dard chhipaye

In your aanchal you hide pain

Seeche jeevan ki kyari

And water the garden of life

Kya dukh sahne ko hi janmi

Was I born only to endure sorrow

Janam jali Bharat nari

O burned life of the Bharat woman

Ghayal ki gat ho, ghayal ki gat

Only the wounded know the state of the wounded

Ghayal jaane, nari na dukh nari

Woman knows woman's sorrow

Gaura Parvati

O Gaura Parvati

Rakh laaj meri sindoor ki

Protect the honour of my sindoor

Shiv Shankar ki pyari, Gaura Parvati

Beloved of Shiv Shankar, O Gaura Parvati

Mohe ek tera hi aasra

You alone are my refuge

Tu hi taranhari, Gaura Parvati

You alone are my saviour, O Gaura Parvati

Rakh laaj meri sindoor ki

Protect the honour of my sindoor
