My beauty, a fortress, my nose ring, a deep wall,
A prayer, perhaps, has spared me, my love, from the fall.
A prayer, perhaps, has spared me, my love, from the fall.
Else, the whole neighborhood, a thief at the call.
My beauty, a fortress, my nose ring, a deep wall.
My beauty, a fortress, my nose ring, a deep wall.
Why love those like you, a heart's cruel decree?
Why yearn for a love that brings only misery?
You, whose venom has bitten, oh, woe to the bound,
You, whose venom has bitten, in darkness they're drowned.
Their world, in your shadow, finds only despair.
My beauty, a fortress, my nose ring, a deep snare.
My beauty, a fortress, my nose ring...
You'd dye my blouse, you'd sweetly proclaim,
And set diamonds within my nose ring, you'd feign.
Yet, your dreams, alas, never will bloom,
Your beautiful lies, will be sealed in a tomb.
Abandon your desires, let your wicked heart cease.
My beauty, a fortress, a captive, no release.
Ram's grace has saved me, my love, in this chase.
Else, the whole neighborhood, a thief, in this place.
My beauty, a fortress, my nose ring, a deep wall.
My beauty, a fortress, my nose ring, a deep wall.
