look up, look up pretty bride look how the seats are arranged just like your marriage promising a plethora with three knots of the saffron string
look down, look down blushing bride look how your hands are laden with orange mehndhi matching your silk orange sari with your sparkling diamond and gold jewels blinding the third eye on your forehead that blinks uncertainly
look around, look around naΓ―ve bride look how the sun rushes through the hall waking up sleeping jasmines on your hair fading away the wretched past ending your stormy dormancy
look right, look right ****** bride look how your husband-to-be is next to you cupping his hands in yours receiving the priests' blessed blessings and sharing the confetti of thrown rice
and you close your eyes tired bride praying to live happily ever after
