Where, oh where, might deceit reside,
Where, oh where, might deceit confide?
Trust not the words, the words of men,
Trust not the words, again, again.
Oh Allah, alas, oh Allah, alas!
Where, oh where, might deceit surpass?
Where, oh where, might deceit amass?
Trust not the words, the words of the fair,
Trust not the words, beyond compare.
Oh Allah, alas, oh Allah, alas!
Women, a test from the heavens above,
Another name, for them, is absence of love.
A hundred excuses, they weave and they spin,
Even the gods, their true nature, can't win.
Fair is the skin, but dark is the soul,
Their bodies, a poison, taking their toll.
Behold their allure, then lose all control,
Their charms steal hearts, taking their role.
They give the ache, for a lifetime of pain,
A story on lips, a tale in the vein.
Deceit in their fibers, running so deep,
Their ways of devotion, secrets they keep.
Their ways of devotion, oh, how they teem,
Where, oh where, might deceit stream?
Where, oh where, might deceit gleam?
Trust not the words, the words of the fair,
Trust not the words, beyond compare.
Oh Allah, alas, oh Allah, alas!
Hear me, people, where do men's loyalties lie?
Their gaze wanders, their aim to decry.
Two swords in one sheath, a dangerous art,
Behold their fatal glance, tearing the heart.
They change their forms, like chameleons’ hue,
Listen to me, and stay far from their view.
They trap us in love's silken snare,
Then burn us in lust's fiery glare.
They swear their oaths, and sigh with despair,
For their own gain, they'll do anything there.
Their love is a gust, a fleeting breeze,
A gust, a breeze that never appeases.
Where, oh where, might deceit reside,
Where, oh where, might deceit confide?
Trust not the words, the words of men,
Trust not the words, again, again.
Oh Allah, alas, oh Allah, alas!
Oh Allah, alas, oh Allah, alas!
Oh Allah, alas, oh Allah, alas!
Oh Allah, alas, oh Allah, alas!
Radha, a woman, Sita as well,
Mary, a woman, Mira's spell.
Women have given, their blood and their way,
In their wombs, they bore us, every day.
