Two souls entwined, we pour the cool draught deep,
A brimming cup for ten paisa, secrets to keep.
Then journey forth, to Kabul's almond trees,
Two souls entwined, we pour the cool draught deep.
For ten paisa, a journey's decree.
Oh, brother, take a stave, oh, lord, the sweet churn,
Oh, auntie, drink a ladle, let your spirit burn.

In a glass palanquin, almonds lie serene,
Cool and sweet, like Ganga's and Yamuna's sheen.
If you share it with your breath, your breath shall never burn,
If the brother-in-law and the sister-in-law together, peace in hearth.
From a single cup, weight swells, six hundred grams,
For ten paisa, a journey to Kabul's almonds.
Two souls entwined, we pour the cool draught deep,
For ten paisa, a journey's decree.
Oh, brother, take a stave, oh, lord, the sweet churn,
Oh, auntie, drink a ladle, let your spirit burn.

Hema Malini and Sharmila, fueled by it's grace,
Sayra Banu, Rekha, all have tasted this space.
Raj Kapoor, Rajinder, Rajesh Khanna, Dharmendra's might,
Mohammad Rafi, Mahendra, Dev Anand, Jitender's light.
Dara Singh, a wrestler, drank from this same stream,
For ten paisa, a journey to Kabul's dream.
Two souls entwined, we pour the cool draught deep,
For ten paisa, a journey's decree.
Oh, brother, take a stave, oh, lord, the sweet churn,
Oh, auntie, drink a ladle, let your spirit burn.

Where has she gone, no news to impart?
Where has she gone, vanished from the heart?
Oh, eyes so round, a slender nose, a neck so long, a red frock's art,
We call to you, for so long have we sought, Open the window and show yourself in a flash!
Your radiant face, a single glance, ends the conflict's dance.
Know, now, you're caught, come forth, my love, where have you fled?
Where has she gone, my love?
In your street today, no other can we find to roam,
For ten paisa, a journey to Kabul's home.
Two souls entwined, we pour the cool draught deep,
For ten paisa, a journey's decree.
Oh, brother, take a stave, oh, lord, the sweet churn,
Oh, auntie, drink a ladle, let your spirit burn.
