Yesterday, unveiled, I saw a few wives,
Akbar, into the earth, shame did he grave.
I asked, "Where is your veil, your hidden lives?"
They said, "It fell, upon the men's minds, enslaved."
Do not step forth, unveiled,
This world is a ruin, a wasteland.
Do not step forth, unveiled,
And on top of that, youth itself is a wasteland.
We know all, we know all, give no counsel,
We know all, we know all, give no counsel,
We know all, we know all, give no counsel,
We know all, we know all, give no counsel,
How could we not be ruined? This world is a ruin.
Do not step forth, unveiled, this world is a ruin.
Rashid, you've fallen, haven't you, into deceit?
Rashid, you've fallen, haven't you, into deceit?
Rashid, you've fallen, haven't you, into deceit?
Rashid, you've fallen, haven't you, into deceit?
Didn't I say, sir, this world is a ruin?
Do not step forth, unveiled, this world is a ruin.
This world is a ruin, this world is a ruin.
This world is a ruin.
