A Daughter-Mother Duet -- Amir Khusrau
Mother, send me my daddy,
The rains have come.
Daughter, your daddy is now old,
How can he come?
```
Mother, send me my brother,
The rains have come.
Daughter, you brother is too young,
He cannot come.
```
Mother, send me my uncle,
The rains have come.
Daughter, your uncle is a loony in love,
He will not come.
*****
