“Sehra” by Dhvani Bhanushali and Varun Jain features lyrics by Kausar Munir and music by White Noise Collectives. The song, from the album Kahan Shuru Kahan Khatam, begins by comparing a veil to “silver on the moon.” This establishes an admiration for a partner’s unique presence.
The lyrics transition from cosmic praise to everyday promises. One line vows their lives will blend together like sugar dissolving in milk. Another notes how her henna’s scent attaches to his own lines of fate, joining their futures.
Chaand Pe Chaandi Sehra TeraYour veil is like silver on the moon
Ho Chaand Pe Chaandi Sehra TeraOh, your veil is like silver on the moon
Laakhon Mein Ek Hai Chehra TeraYour face is one in a million
Sone Pe Suhaaga Sehra TeraYour veil is the gleam upon the gold
Sone Pe Suhaaga Sehra TeraYour veil is the gleam upon the gold
Laakhon Mein Ek Hai Chehra TeraYour face is one in a million
Doodh Mein Cheeni Ghol Ke PeeniLike dissolving sugar into milk to drink
Ab Toh Hai Saari UmarThat’s how we’ll live for all our lives
Ek Hi Pyaali Ek Hi ThaaliWith one cup and one plate between us
Aisa Ho Apna BasarMay our life unfold in this way
Doodh Mein Cheeni Ghol Ke PeeniLike dissolving sugar into milk to drink
Ab Toh Hai Saari UmarThat’s how we’ll live for all our lives
Ek Hi Pyaali Ek Hi ThaaliWith one cup and one plate between us
Aisa Ho Apna BasarMay our life unfold in this way
Haathon Mein Tere Mehendi Lagi HaiHenna adorns your hands
Meri Lakeerein Mehak Rahi HaiAnd my own lines of fate are now fragrant
Maang Mein Tune Taare SajaayeYou’ve decorated your hair with stars
Qismat Ye Meri Chamak Rahi HaiAnd now my destiny begins to shine
Salma Sitaara Sehra TeraYour veil is made of lace and stars
Salma Sitaara Sehra TeraYour veil is made of lace and stars
Laakhon Mein Ek Hai Chehra TeraYour face is one in a million
Doodh Mein Cheeni Ghol Ke PeeniLike dissolving sugar into milk to drink
Ab Toh Hai Saari UmarThat’s how we’ll live for all our lives
Ek Hi Pyaali Ek Hi ThaaliWith one cup and one plate between us
Aisa Ho Apna BasarMay our life unfold in this way
Doodh Mein Cheeni Ghol Ke PeeniLike dissolving sugar into milk to drink
Ab Toh Hai Saari UmarThat’s how we’ll live for all our lives
Ek Hi Pyaali Ek Hi ThaaliWith one cup and one plate between us
The song connects grand wedding imagery with simple, daily actions. It moves from the stars in the sky to a cup and plate in the kitchen. The ‘Sehra’ lyrics’ meaning comes from this vision of a shared and inseparable life.
