Aaj meri behn ki mehndi thi. Ghar mein roshniyan aur phool the.
Today was my sister's mehndi. The house had lights and flowers.
Sab ne zard aur sabz kapray pehne. Dhol baj rahe the.
Everyone wore yellow and green clothes. The drums were playing.
💡 Yellow (zard) and green (sabz) are the traditional mehndi colors - tied to spring and fertility. "Baj rahe the" = past continuous (was playing) - rahe + the marks past + ongoing action.
Larkiyon ne behn ke haathon par mehndi lagaayi.
The girls applied henna on my sister's hands.
Ammi ki aankhon mein aansoo the. Woh keh rahi thin, "Beti bari ho gayi."
Mom had tears in her eyes. She was saying, "My daughter has grown up."
Sab ne mil kar gaane gaaye. Yeh ek yaadgaar raat thi.
Everyone sang songs together. It was a memorable night.
