yau dulhā chinhī liyau,
yau dulhā chinhī liyau
anhu apan dulārī ke,

sunay chhī ahān chhī baṛakā jnānī,
ahānk bāp ke tīn janānī,-2
yau dulhā bājab kono
bāt ke soch-vichāri ke,
ke chhathi prāṇ piyārī se naऽ। - 2

yau dulhā rahay chhī kon ṭhām,
chinhū kaniān baisal bām, - 2
ahān pakaṛi n lebani,
yau ahān pakaṛi n lebani,
dahinā baisal sāri ke,
ke chhathi prāṇ piyārī se naऽ ।
yau dulhā pakaṛi n lebani,
dahinā baisal sāri ke,
ke chhathi prāṇ piyārī se naऽ ।

āmak pallav lia hāth,
ham sab deb ahānk sāth,- 2
yau ahān nahi chinhab taऽ,-2
puchhū kehan ke nārī ke,
ke chhathi prāṇ piyārī se naऽ ।
dulhā chinhī liyau

Song Description

This song belongs to the tradition of Kanya Nirikshan (bride inspection). After the wedding procession arrives, the groom is taken to the Kohbar Ghar, where the bride and her sister are seated on the floor and covered with a yellow cloth. The groom is then asked to pick out his bride. The ritual brims with laughter, teasing, and playful banter, all of which come alive in this song. The women poke fun at the groom’s family while playfully challenging him to recognize his beloved—dropping subtle hints along the way to help him identify his bride.
