Enjoy the spring, beautiful bride -- Amir Khusrau
Enjoy the spring, beautiful bride,
Enjoy the spring today.
Put on the make-up
On you face and lashes
And comb your long hair.
You're still deep in sleep,
Get up, beautiful bride.
Destiny is knocking on your door,
Enjoy this spring, O bride.
A snobbish lady with arrogant looks,
That’s what you are.
King Amir, on seeing you,
Will cast love-glances on you.
The spring is here again,
Enjoy the spring today.

Original in Hindi
Aaj basant manaalay suhaagun,
Aaj basant manaalay;
Anjan manjan kar piya mori,
Lambay neher lagaaye;
Tu kya sovay neend ki maasi,
So jaagay teray bhaag, suhaagun,
Aaj basant manalay…..;
Oonchi naar kay oonchay chitvan,
Ayso diyo hai banaaye;
Shaah-e Amir tohay dekhan ko,
Nainon say naina milaaye,
Suhaagun, aaj basant manaalay.
