bhawra dar dar ke pichhe ko jaaye re

Oh, Beloved, Beloved, Oh!
Guard your heart, protect it well,
For your heart will be her target, I tell.
Oh, Beloved, Beloved, Oh!
Guard your heart, protect it well,
For your heart will be her target, I tell.

Upon her brow, a jewel does gleam,
In shadowed eyes, sleep hides a dream.
Upon her brow, a jewel does gleam,
In shadowed eyes, sleep hides a dream.
Such innocence, a crafted scheme,
Such innocence, a crafted scheme,
To steal your heart, a playful game.
Your heart will be her target, I proclaim.
Oh, Beloved, Beloved, Oh!
Guard your heart, protect it well,
For your heart will be her target, I tell.

See how she sways, a gentle grace,
Sways slowly, at her own pace.
Knowingly, her eyes she hides,
Slowly sways, where truth resides.
Why silence seals her lips so sweet?
Slowly sways, in veiled retreat.
By such charms, do not be fooled,
Do not be fooled, lest you’re ruled.
Your heart will be her target, I implore.
Oh, Beloved, Beloved, Oh!
Guard your heart, protect it well,
For your heart will be her target, I tell.

A sleeping bud, she seeks to wake,
The bumblebee, in fear, does take
A sleeping bud, she seeks to wake,
The bumblebee, in fear, does take
A falling lightning, a shocking quake,
Oh falling lightning, a shocking quake.
I warned you, didn't I foretell?
I told you, didn't I foretell?
I warned you, I did well!
Your heart will be her target, I now tell.
Oh, Beloved, Beloved, Oh!
Guard your heart, protect it well,
For your heart will be her target, I tell.
