For a fleeting half-day, youth does not linger,
A muslin shirt, it softly lingers.
Wild your youth, untamed,
Wild your youth,
Maiden, it no longer obeys,
Wild your youth,
Maiden, it no longer obeys.
Calling to my heart, a lure,
The henna on your hands,
You are a spark,
You are a spark,
Like a burning coal you smolder.
A muslin shirt, it softly lingers.
You are a spark,
Like a burning coal you smolder.
A muslin shirt, it softly lingers.
For a fleeting half-day, youth does not linger,
A muslin shirt, it softly lingers.
From you, I learned to walk,
From you, I learned to walk,
The waters of five rivers,
From you, I learned to walk,
The waters of five rivers.
Be you a grey Heer,
Be you a flower queen,
Be you a grey Heer,
Be you a flower queen,
Maiden, your essence,
Maiden, your essence,
Does not blend in.
A muslin shirt, it softly lingers.
For a fleeting half-day, youth does not linger,
A muslin shirt, it softly lingers.
From beneath the thin shirt,
From beneath the thin shirt,
A Jat's beauty strikes,
From beneath the thin shirt,
A Jat's beauty strikes.
Each limb ablaze, it burns,
Each pore beckons,
Each limb ablaze, it burns,
Each pore beckons.
The leather shoe,
The leather shoe, it cannot twist and turn.
The leather shoe, it cannot twist and turn.
A muslin shirt, it softly lingers.
For a fleeting half-day, youth does not linger,
For a fleeting half-day, youth does not linger,
A muslin shirt, it softly lingers.
