shava shava are bhai tauba tauba

sone si jawani teri rab da kamal hai
kaali teri chotiyo pe reshmi rumal hai
tu hai kudi lakho ki karodo ki
ke soni kudi sab nu hai jachti
ke soni kudi sab nu hai jachti

sone si jawani meri rab da kamal hai
maine dekha ashika da bada bura haal hai
mai hu kudi lakho ki karodo ki
ke soni kudi sab nu hai jachti
ke soni kudi sab nu hai jachti
shava shava are bhai tauba tauba
shava shava are bhai tauba tauba

ye to hai sare diwano ki mehfil
jane yaha kaun hai kiski manzil
koi nahi hai aur ye sab teri baate
pahchane najar ko yaha meri aankhe
koi teri aankho se sharab le jayega
chupke se hontho ke gulab le jayega
tu hai kudi lakho ki karodo ki
ke soni kudi sab nu hai jachti
ke soni kudi sab nu hai jachti
shava shava are bhai tauba tauba
shava shava are bhai tauba tauba

ye baate sari chamakne ki baate
kat jate hai teer bhi kuch diwane
tujhko pata bhi chalega na jaani
palko se kajal chura lunga rani
chakshu chakshu maare mera long lashkara
chamke paranda vich chamka sitara
mai hu kudi lakho ki karodo ki
ke soni kudi sab nu hai jachti
ke soni kudi sab nu hai jachti
sone si jawani teri rab da kamal hai
maine dekha ashika da bada bura hala hai
tu hai kudi lakho ki karodo ki
ke soni kudi sab nu hai jachti
ke soni kudi sab nu hai jachti

Shava Shava, alas, a repentant plea,
Shava Shava, alas, a repentant plea.

Golden youth, a marvel of the Lord's design,
Silken scarves upon your dark tresses entwine.
You are a maiden of millions, of countless worth,
A beautiful girl, admired throughout the earth.
A beautiful girl, admired throughout the earth.

Golden youth is mine, the Lord's decree,
I've witnessed lovers' fates, a tragic decree.
I am a maiden of millions, of countless worth,
A beautiful girl, admired throughout the earth.
A beautiful girl, admired throughout the earth.
Shava Shava, alas, a repentant plea,
Shava Shava, alas, a repentant plea.

This is a gathering of the lovelorn's plight,
Who knows here, whose destination, what sight?
None but you, and these words all speak of you,
My eyes, they recognize, what they pursue.
From your eyes, someone will steal the wine,
Silently, the rose from your lips, they'll enshrine.
You are a maiden of millions, of countless worth,
A beautiful girl, admired throughout the earth.
A beautiful girl, admired throughout the earth.
Shava Shava, alas, a repentant plea,
Shava Shava, alas, a repentant plea.

These are tales of shimmering, fleeting, bright,
Arrows are felled by some lovers' might.
You won't even know, my love, my dear,
I'll steal the kohl from your lashes, year after year.
My eyes, they strike, a piercing, flashing gleam,
The star shines bright within, a dazzling dream.
I am a maiden of millions, of countless worth,
A beautiful girl, admired throughout the earth.
A beautiful girl, admired throughout the earth.
Golden youth, a marvel of the Lord's design,
I've witnessed lovers' fates, a tragic decree.
You are a maiden of millions, of countless worth,
A beautiful girl, admired throughout the earth.
A beautiful girl, admired throughout the earth.
Shava Shava, alas, a repentant plea,
Shava Shava, alas, a repentant plea.
Shava Shava, alas, a repentant plea,
Shava Shava, alas, a repentant plea.
