I'll tuck a Ketaki in your tresses, see that it doesn't fritter away... And I'll pluck lacs of bluish violet buds of Dharek, to scatter on your veil; Feathery brushes of 'Chari' I'll turn into a Paraanda & pleat your braid; & dot your veil's edges with 'Sanh's' bushy We'll make broad bangles, necklace, a 'tikka', anklets & eardrops from 'Alsi'. And I wait for wheat-shots to turn golden to make hair clips. With hair pleaded into tiny braids, and chnni around your neck, your charm will tease the world. Honor the poor blooms of the 'Kikkar' & make one or two rings. Sweet-smelling florets are falling off the Eucalyptus, kiss them. The world plucks buds that dangle from branches, let's value blooms fallen on the floor. I've planted a fragrant 'Marua', come & feed it water with your beautiful hands; And I've got a lehnga made out of an ivy, just wear and show if it fits... And I'll dot its edges with wads of 'Kaahi', so that you can wear it in the sunny days of early spring... When we plant a Gulmohar, embroider the Phulkari with its blooms. And to sprout white flowers on your crimson kurti, come visiting for three four days We have to travel Malwa because there is no cotton buds in Doaba. Golden strands of corn will be my turban's plume & the dowry will be its grains, We'll color our veils & turbans pink, and Sartaaj will line his eyes with Kohl too, When bamboos come to flower, dreams are wedded then, to find their face....
