Admirer, oh admirer!
Admirer, admirer, your female admirer!
Admirer, admirer, the one whose eyes stole mine,
my Mr. Admirer!
Ah, my admirer, oh admirer!
Admirer, admirer, female admirer!
Oh admirer, oh admirer!
Mr. Admirer who stole me away!
Oho oho ooo... (2)
My admirer, oh admirer!
Admirer, admirer, female admirer!
Oh admirer, oh admirer!
Mr. Admirer who stole me away!
Female admirer, oh admirer!
Admirer, admirer, Mr. Admirer!
Oh admirer, oh admirer!
The admirer who cast a spell on me and left!
With every step she takes,
the earth blushes red,
and its heart turns sweet.
When she pauses and stands tall,
a celebration begins in the sky!
Not just a sky festival, but a celebration of spring!
Even an Egyptian mummy
would open its eyes.
If she smiles even a little,
it would come back to life!
The moon swings back and forth,
right here in her eyes!
Swinging and swaying,
an angel leaps and dances between two crescent brows!
Right beside her ear,
flowers gather for a grand meeting!
To reach out and pull you close,
she casts a net made of lightning cords!
{Admirer, oh admirer,
your admirer, oh admirer,
female admirer, your admirer!} (2)
{Admirer, oh admirer,
your admirer, oh admirer,
female admirer, your admirer!} (2)
That single word
spoken by Mumtaz's beauty
still echoes today
through the marble of Agra!
That single word
that seared Adam's soul,
still without cooling down,
simmers with sweet delight!
Even deadly poison
tastes as sweet as sugarcane!
Love washes away sorrow
clean without any soap!
My admirer, oh admirer!
Admirer, admirer, female admirer!
Oh admirer, oh admirer!
Mr. Admirer who stole me away!
Right beside her ear,
flowers gather for a grand meeting!
To reach out and pull you close,
she casts a net made of lightning cords!
Admirer... ah, admirer!
...
Without the search of a chisel,
there is no sculpture.
Without the search of the eyes,
there is no love.
The searching drizzle of rain
touches the earth.
The heart searching for its roots
touches a woman.
A search deep within oneself
gives wisdom.
A search made through a pen's ink
gives poetry.
{The search celebrated by fingers
creates music.
The search celebrated by a seed
brings the morning light!} (2)
Male: The search brings the morning light... (3)
Admirer, oh admirer!
Admirer, admirer, female admirer!
Admirer, oh admirer!
Mr. Admirer who stole me away!
Ahhh... admirer...
My admirer... ah...
Admirer... ah...
Admirer, oh admirer!
Admirer, admirer, female admirer!
Admirer, oh admirer!
Mr. Admirer who stole me away!
Oho oho ooo... (2)
Chorus: {Admirer, oh admirer,
your admirer, oh admirer,
female admirer, your admirer!} (2)
{Admirer, oh admirer,
admirer, admirer, female admirer!
Admirer, oh admirer,
Mr. Admirer who stole me away!} (2)
