BALLADE OF MUHAMMAD KHAN

She has put on her green robe, she has put on her double veil, my idol;

My idol has come to me.

She has put on her green robe, my love is a laughing flower;

Gently, gently she comes, she is a young rose, she has come out of the garden.

Gently she has shown her face, parting her veil, my idol;

My idol has come to me.

She has put on her green robe, my love is a young rose for me to break.

Her chin has the smooth colour of peaches and she guards it well;

She is the daughter of a Moghol house and well they guard her.
