Long have you lingered, daughter, in your father's house,
Now your Beloved calls.
Long have you played with companions,
Now childhood's game is done.
Your Beloved calls.
Long have you lingered, daughter, in your father's house,
Now your Beloved calls.

Bathed and cleansed,
Adorned in finest raiment,
All beauty embraced.
Family gathers to bid you farewell,
Men and women weep.
Your Beloved calls.
Long have you lingered, daughter, in your father's house,
Now your Beloved calls.

Four bearers lift the palanquin,
Priest and barber walk alongside,
The journey begins, where does the road lead?
Tears stream from eyes.
Your Beloved calls.
Long have you lingered, daughter, in your father's house,
Now your Beloved calls.

Finally, the bride departs,
Silence surrounds her.
All the joy and laughter remain,
Mother, father, and brother left behind.
Your Beloved calls.
Long have you lingered, daughter, in your father's house,
Now your Beloved calls.

Seated now, cloaked in muslin,
Saffron mark upon your brow,
Khusrau, you journey to your husband's home,
Alone you go.
Your Beloved calls.
Long have you lingered, daughter, in your father's house,
Now your Beloved calls.
