Youth arrives, youth departs, youth arrives, youth departs,
Belonging to none, alas, to none it clung, nor shall it ever.
Good deeds from God, ill from Abdullah,
Good deeds from God, ill from Abdullah, the wicked Abdullah.
Youth arrives, youth departs,
Belonging to none, alas, to none it clung, nor shall it ever.

A monkey in the bosom, oh, the power of God,
The power of God, the power of God.
Grapes in the fox's mouth, oh, the power of God,
The power of God, the power of God.
This Basra cat, and that Baghdad tom,
This Basra cat, and that Baghdad tom.
Good deeds from God, ill from Abdullah, the wicked Abdullah.
Youth arrives, youth departs,
Belonging to none, alas, to none it clung, nor shall it ever.
Youth arrives, youth departs,
Belonging to none, alas, to none it clung, nor shall it ever.

Eyes bow low, saluting your beauty,
Saluting your beauty.
Eyes bow low, saluting your beauty,
Saluting your beauty, saluting your beauty.
We are dead to you, dead to you, dead,
Dead to you,
We are dead to you, now it's your will, your work,
Before your sweet laughter, the rasgulla pales.
Good deeds from God, ill from Abdullah, the wicked Abdullah.
Youth arrives, youth departs,
Belonging to none, alas, to none it clung, nor shall it ever.
Youth arrives, youth departs,
Belonging to none, alas, to none it clung, nor shall it ever.

The waist undulates, the gait sways, the gestures are intoxicating,
The gestures are intoxicating.
The eyes dance, spinning like a whirling wheel,
Like a whirling wheel, like a whirling wheel.
The eyes dance, spinning like a whirling wheel,
Whoever sees, becomes entranced, be it the scribe or the mullah.
Good deeds from God, ill from Abdullah, the wicked Abdullah.
Youth arrives, youth departs,
Belonging to none, alas, to none it clung, nor shall it ever.

Youth arrives, youth departs,
Belonging to none, alas, to none it clung, nor shall it ever.
Good deeds from God, ill from Abdullah, the wicked Abdullah.
Youth arrives, youth departs, youth arrives, youth departs,
Youth arrives, youth departs, youth arrives, youth departs.
