Rasool-e-Pak Ka Saaya - Complete Lyrics

"Rasool-e-Pak Ka Saaya" is a cherished traditional song often performed during Mehndi ceremonies in South Asian weddings. Its heartfelt lyrics convey blessings and well-wishes for the bride, invoking the auspicious presence of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Complete Lyrics:

Rasool-e-Pak ka saaya Mubarak ho, mubarak ho

Rasool-e-Pak ka saaya Mubarak ho, mubarak ho


Bulao darzi, silay jora

Jo dulhan pehen kar aaye

Dulhan ki amma se keh de na

Mubarak ho, mubarak ho


Bulao maali, banaye sehra

Jo dulhan pehen kar aaye

Dulhan ki khala se keh de na

Mubarak ho, mubarak ho


Bulao sonar, banaye zaiver

Jo dulhan pehen kar aaye

Dulhan ki bhabi se keh de na

Mubarak ho, mubarak ho

The song begins with a chorus celebrating the blessings of the Prophet's presence, followed by verses that call upon various individuals—such as the tailor, the florist, and the jeweler—to prepare the bride's attire and adornments. Each verse concludes with a congratulatory message to a specific female relative of the bride, symbolizing communal joy and participation in the wedding festivities.

This song holds a special place in cultural traditions, embodying the collective blessings and happiness bestowed upon the bride as she embarks on a new chapter in her life.
