Chorus: Sweetheart, sweetheart!
Sweet, sweet sweetheart!
Come to me, my Mustafa!
Male: Mustafa!
Female: Come to me, my sweetheart!

I am the doe from Bombay!

Male: Wonderful!
Female: You sing 'Ek Do Teen'!
Male: Oh yes...!
I have fallen for you!
Come... come... come... come...
Come to me, my Mustafa!
Come to me, my sweetheart!
As a love ghazal plays,
Male: Wonderful!
Female: The rose of Kashmir dances!
Male: How wonderful!
Female: 'Your beauty is intoxicating...'
Why bother listening to old tales?
Male: Aha aha aha aha!
Female: 'My love is crazy...'
Will he leave any longing unfulfilled?

Wearing a churidar like Shilpa Shetty,
she came pressing close!
Hey crisp dry roti, beating the dholak drum,
I've come to sing for you, girl!
The beloved of Shah Jahan
is dancing with a salute!
On the stage of the Taj Mahal,
she is singing a Tamil song!
Come to me, my Mustafa!
Female: Mustafa!
Male: Come to me, my sweetheart!
Female: Sweetheart, sweetheart!
...
A glamorous beauty who sparks desire,
dancing like sizzling tandoori chicken!
Female: Aha aha aha aha!
Male: Like a sweet banana that grew legs,
like a ripe papaya that grew arms!
Female: Come, come, come, come!
Having travelled to Japan, China, London, and Paris,
I have seen the whole world!
Where else can you find
a golden doe like me?
Oh, just looking at your beauty from the front,
I am still left breathless!
And taking in your curves from behind,
my heart longs for you deeply!
Come to me, my Mustafa!
Male: Mustafa!
Female: Come to me, my sweetheart!
Male: Sweetheart!
I am Salman Khan, aren't I?
Female: Uh-huh!
Male: You are the Bombay doe, aren't you?
Female: Uh-huh!
Male: While I chew on sweet betel paan,
Female: Wonderful!
Male: You sing 'Ek Do Teen'!
I have fallen for you!
