Oh, Lord, oh, Lord, oh, Lord above,
Why has youth descended, claiming love?
Why has youth descended, claiming love?
The grocer teases, oh, alas, alas, the washerman teases,
Oh, alas, alas, the washerman teases,
The barber teases, plucking at my threads,
Oh, Lord, why has youth descended, claiming love?
Oh, Lord, why has youth descended, claiming love?

The lawyers cry, "Bring her to court, to court, to court!"
The judge commands, "Summon her here, report, report, report!"
The judge commands, the lawyers cry, "Who will hold this youth in check?
Who will hold this youth in check, or the city will find a fight!"
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord, why has youth descended, claiming love?
Oh, Lord, why has youth descended, claiming love?
The grocer teases, oh, alas, alas, the washerman teases,
Oh, alas, alas, the washerman teases,
The barber teases, plucking at my threads,
Oh, Lord, why has youth descended, claiming love?
Oh, Lord, why has youth descended, claiming love?

I am the doctor's medicine, the remedy, the remedy, the remedy!
I am the poet's throbbing soul, the life, the life, the life!
The doctor's or the poet's, Ghalib's, Talib's, Ghalib's,
Oh, Talib, from us, honor you did gain!
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord, why has youth descended, claiming love?
Oh, Lord, why has youth descended, claiming love?
The grocer teases, oh, alas, alas, the washerman teases,
Oh, alas, alas, the washerman teases,
The barber teases, plucking at my threads,
Oh, Lord, why has youth descended, claiming love?
Oh, Lord, why has youth descended, claiming love?
