DEV KI DULHAN
Sitting in front of the mirror looking like a newly wed bride, Chandini blushed and hid her face in the palms. Dressed up in a red saree and wearing all the bridal jewelleries and accessories she looked like a woman all ready for her husband. But the final 2 pieces of adornments were still left, without which she was incomplete. Picking up the mangalsutra, she gently kissed it and lovingly tied it around her neck simultaneously recalling how her Dev did the same during their wedding. Taking the sindoor, she applied it in the middle of her maang. She immersed herself in his colours as she truly looked 'Dev Ki Chandini'
Thi mai adhuri
Ho gayi ab poori
Yeh maang hai sindoori
Ho gayi mai teri
Yeh chudiyon ki khanak
Yeh paayal ki chhanak
Yeh chehre ki raunak
Dete meri khushiyon ki jhalak
Yaad dilaungi hamaara bachpan
Woh masti, woh paagalpan
Woh ek dusre ka saath
Kuch alag thi apni baat
Woh tera mujhpe haq jamaana
Woh tera bado ko aap kehna
Woh tera miss badbad bulaana
Woh tera mere liye chintit hona
Tere kaale pathhar se hi
Milti hai shakti
Yaad karke tujhe hi
Zindagi mei aage badhti
Dekhke mere aasu bhare nain
Rahoge hamesha bechain
Dekh nahi sakte meri takleef
Hu iss baat se waakif
Mera Dev badla nahi
Bas bhatka hai
Mera Dev mujhe bhool nahi
Bas naaraaz hai
Tum Advay se Dev banoge
Tum phirse hasoge
Tum waapas jeena seekhoge
Tum phirse apni Chandini ke honge
Kyu kehte ho har dafaa
Ke mai hu bewafaa
Mujhe nhi pata
Kya hai meri khataa
Bas, naa todna mujhe itna
Ke fir jud na saku
Naa karna apne se door itna
Ke kabhi mil naa paau
(I was incomplete
But now you completed me
You have filled my forehead with sindoor
I am yours forever)
(The jingling of my bangles
The tinking of my anklets
The glow on my face
Indicate my happiness)
(I will remind you of our childhood
That fun and madness
Our togetherness
It was something different)
(The way you used to claim me
The way you used to chide me asking me to address the elders as 'aap'
The way you called me 'miss talkative'
The way you were concerned about me)
(Your black stone
Gives me strength
By remembering you
I move forward in my life)
(Seeing me crying
You would be restless
You can't see me in pain
I know this fact)
(My Dev hasn't changed
But is lost
My Dev hasn't forgotten his Chandini
But he is just upset)
(You will become Dev again
You will laugh again
You will learn to live again
You will be mine again)
(Why do you always
Call me an unfaithful woman
I don't know
What is my fault)
(I just wish that you don't break me
To the extent that I won't be able to recollect myself
Don't grow apart from me
To the extent that you won't be able to find me again)
