I am a tender bloom, a kachnar's grace,
walking proud, in this embellished space.
Oh, in my heart, your eyes, arrows of might,
do not pierce so deep, with all their light.
Do not pierce so deep, with all their light.

Adorned with sixteen graces, fair face, kohl-lined so fine,
Your beautiful form, and I, my heart, a willing twine.
Listen to my heart's plea, my chest a frantic beat,
Listen to my heart's plea, my chest a frantic beat.
Oh, in my heart, your eyes, arrows of might,
do not pierce so deep, with all their light.
Do not pierce so deep, with all their light.

You promised to return with the monsoon's call,
but you left me here, to face this empty wall.
Counting grains of sand, the hours slowly bleed,
My love, across twelve festivals, a promise to me, agreed.
I am a tender bloom, a kachnar's grace,
walking proud, in this embellished space.
walking proud, in this embellished space.

Oh, do not wilt, my love, in this spring's cruel tear,
Let us play Holi, in love's vibrant sphere.
You, with sixteen adornments, ready to depart, dressed so grand,
You, with sixteen adornments, ready to depart, dressed so grand.
Oh, in my heart, your eyes, arrows of might,
do not pierce so deep, with all their light.
Do not pierce so deep, with all their light.

The weight of youth, my waist, it bends and falls,
Why tarry still, when my beloved calls?
You've wandered far, in foreign lands, longing for my spouse, my heart aches.
You've wandered far, in foreign lands, longing for my spouse, my heart aches.
I am a tender bloom, a kachnar's grace,
walking proud, in this embellished space.
walking proud, in this embellished space.

Slowly the hiccups rise, memories now they sting,
As if the crow sits, by the road, a death it brings.
I'll go to my husband, my beloved's heart, it yearns,
I'll go to my husband, my beloved's heart, it yearns.
Oh, in my heart, your eyes, arrows of might,
do not pierce so deep, with all their light.
Do not pierce so deep, with all their light.
I am a tender bloom, a kachnar's grace,
walking proud, in this embellished space.

Do not pierce so deep, with all their light.
