Build me a palace, Munim ji, a palace of light,
Build me a palace, Munim ji, reflecting the night.
In its walls, let mirrors gleam, Munim ji, bright.
In its walls, let mirrors gleam, reflecting my sight.

Why veil my face, this tender bloom, so new?
Why veil my face, this tender, blossoming hue?
With laughter and love, my beloved, I'll draw you,
To build a new palace, faithful and true.
Let latticed windows soften the view, Munim ji, let them accrue.
Let latticed windows soften the view.

High on a sky-bound tower, singing to stars,
High on a sky-bound tower, beyond earthly bars.
In a palace of air, we'll play our guitars,
In a palace of air, banishing scars.
At the gate, let elephants sway, Munim ji, let them sway.
At the gate, let elephants sway.
In its walls, let mirrors gleam, Munim ji, day by day.
In its walls, let mirrors gleam, come what may.

When the rains of Shravan pour, and the cuckoo calls,
When the rains of Shravan pour, beyond the castle walls.
When the bumblebee hums, and the garden recalls,
When the bumblebee hums, answering nature's calls.
In the courtyard, a swing, Munim ji, a swing to enthrall.
In the courtyard, a swing, embracing one and all.
In its walls, let mirrors gleam, Munim ji, standing tall.
In its walls, let mirrors gleam, ready to enthrall.
Build me a palace, Munim ji, a palace for all,
Build me a palace, Munim ji, answering the call.
In its walls, let mirrors gleam, before the fall,
In its walls, let mirrors gleam, embracing one and all.
