Hush, oh, love, let me sing, for I am the river,
I am the river, not a mere drop, I am the river, not a mere drop.
I fear no,
I fear no danger, I fear no danger.
I am the river, I am the river, I am the river, not a mere drop,
I am the river, not a mere drop, I fear no danger,
I fear no danger.

Fear not, in Allah's name, fear not, fear not, fear not, I am your lover,
I am no pickpocket, I am no pickpocket.
Your age, Nazmi, oh Madam, with lipstick and powder,
age diminishes, your age, Nazmi,
is more than seventeen, is more than seventeen.
I am the river, not a mere drop, I fear no danger,
I fear no danger.

These palaces are colorful, these palaces are colorful,
this house is not clean, this house is not clean,
no sweets and no sweetmeats here, no sweets and no sweetmeats here,
this is Mumbai, not Mathura, this is Mumbai, not Mathura.
I am the river, not a mere drop, I fear no danger,
I fear no danger.

Weary, yet wise, this is the poet's divan,
poet liar, poet liar, this is the poet's divan,
not a Pandit's letter, not a Pandit's letter.
That which rises, sleeps,
form dissolves, the sky is intoxicated,
form dissolves, the sky is intoxicated.
That which rises and sleeps, never descends again,
never descends again. I am the river, not a mere drop,
I fear no danger, I fear no danger.
