My kurta, silken like a veil, a net's embrace,
I came to you in shadows, to love's secret space.
My kurta, silken like a veil, a net's embrace,
I came to you in shadows, to love's secret space.
Let go my hand, the village will cry out loud,
My kurta, silken like a veil, a net's embrace,
I came to you in shadows, to love's secret space.
My love, your arms, I'll never release,
My love, your arms, I'll never release,
Your earrings, your bangles, I will not cease,
Slowly, so slowly,
Upon the rooftop, I come to you with ease.
My kurta, silken like a veil, a net's embrace,
I came to you in shadows, to love's secret space.
Let go my hand, the village will cry out loud.
My kurta, silken like a veil, a net's embrace,
I came to you in shadows, to love's secret space.
Forget, my love, I am but a tender bloom,
Forget, my love, I am but a tender bloom,
My heart knows not, nor do I, when I became your room,
Love is my fire, love is the law,
I came to you, a garden of flowers, love's draw.
I came to you, a garden of flowers.
My kurta, silken like a veil, a net's embrace,
Let go my hand, the village will cry out loud.
My kurta, silken like a veil, a net's embrace,
I came to you in shadows, to love's secret space.
You are my garland, you are my adornment bright,
You are my garland, you are my adornment bright,
My Eid's moon, my Karwa Chauth's light.
Believe me, darling, believe,
Do not hold me in the middle of this night,
Do not hold me in the middle of this night,
My kurta, silken like a veil, a net's embrace,
I came to you in shadows, to love's secret space.
Let go my hand, the village will cry out loud.
My kurta, silken like a veil, a net's embrace,
I came to you in shadows, to love's secret space.
A veil of silk, to love's secret space.
A veil of silk, I came to you, to space.
