My shy one, my shy one, oh my shy one,
My shy one, my shy one, oh my shy one,
Come now, don't torment,
Come now, don't torment,
My shy one, my shy one, oh my shy one.

Your kohl, the night's dark form, dark form,
Your henna, the dawn's new birth, new birth,
Your voice, awakens the song, the song,
Your fragrance, blooms the flower's worth,
Blooms the flower's worth, my love, where are you?
My shy one, my shy one, oh my shy one,
My shy one, my shy one, oh my shy one.

Since I've walked your paths, your paths,
My own path, I've forgot, I've forgot,
Since I've seen you, my love, my love,
My own home, I've forgot, I've forgot,
My love, where are you?
My shy one, my shy one, oh my shy one,
My shy one, my shy one, oh my shy one.

Oh, lotus-eyed, come hither, come hither,
Unveil the veil of your grace, your grace,
On your shawl, I'll write a song, a song,
In your lips, I'll pour nectar's embrace,
Nectar's embrace, my love, where are you?
My shy one, my shy one, oh my shy one,
My shy one, my shy one, oh my shy one,
Come now, don't torment,
Come now, don't torment,
My shy one, my shy one, oh my shy one,
My shy one, my shy one, oh my shy one.
