Teri Ah

Who knows what the stars are whispering

They seem to be chanting only your name

O handsome one, if only you would come to me

If only you would make my life worth living

All the desires of my heart remain unfulfilled

The paths of my life lie empty and waiting

Like dried leaves receiving life-giving water

If only you would reach out and hold my hand

I am already yours in every sense

Now, pray, make me your own as well

I am already yours in every sense

Now, pray, make me your own as well

I am already yours in every sense

Now, pray, make me your own as well

Why do you not understand my unspoken words?

How I endure the long passage of these nights

I keep dancing in the frenzy of your love

I keep gazing longingly at your photograph

So many letters I have written to you

But they all returned from your doorstep

Fearing to speak, I wrote it all in letters

If only you would finally read them

I am already yours in every sense

Now, pray, make me your own as well

I am already yours in every sense

Now, pray, make me your own as well

I am already yours in every sense

Now, pray, make me your own as well

I am already yours in every sense

Now, pray, make me your own as well

Don't treat me with such indifference, my [Sajjan: soulmate/darling]

For then my heart will find no peace in living

Come and weave a dream of longing with me

Come and listen to what I have to say

It is the humble wish of this lowly one

Listen to the plea of this [Marjani: a term of endearment, literally 'one who is dying for you']

The time for our union has finally arrived

Hurry now, and choose me as your bride

I am already yours in every sense

Now, pray, make me your own as well

I am already yours in every sense

Now, pray, make me your own as well

Pure is the very soil of your city

Even the dust beneath the feet of [Nirvair: self-reference to the artist/lyricist]

I keep it pressed close to my neck in devotion

My eyes wish for nothing but to gaze upon you

You have become like the moon of [Eid: a metaphor for a rare and precious sight that brings immense joy]

You have become the ultimate desire of my heart

I am thirsty for your affection, my beloved

If only you would take me in your arms

I am already yours in every sense

Now, pray, make me your own as well

I am already yours in every sense

Now, pray, make me your own as well
