Who made that painting...
...come to life and walk around?
Has the time finally come
to hang it in your home?
Did the glass palace itself
gaze at her in envy?
When she stood before it,
were its eyes completely dazzled?
She isn't a world-renowned beauty,
nor is she the wandering moon,
she just feels like a friendly girl you know.
She doesn't have a loud laugh,
nor is she overly fair,
yet she stuns you like a portrait of pure beauty!
Arriving like a poem,
arriving like a dream,
she suits you so perfectly!
She is a local Ellora sculpture, meant just for you!
She is your uncle's daughter,
with eyes as lively as fish!
Knowing she is the match for you,
she is the girl I looked at in wonder!
What can I even say?
When it comes to beauty, she is all of it!
Every day, little by little,
practice saying 'I love you'!
The angel I saw
doesn't have wings, in truth.
A girl like her,
I haven't seen in recent times.
Even while standing on the ground,
she floats with gentle grace.
Poured from molten gold,
she is a sculpted golden peacock.
Plucking a hundred thousand flowers,
and sprinkling sweet honey all over,
that's how her beauty was made, my friend!
In her shy glance,
a masterpiece of poetry
comes alive in print, oh my!
Like placing a beauty mark
on the island of Katchatheevu,
look at her lush freshness, my friend!
What a girl, what beauty, you can lose yourself in awe!
Her eyes are pages of poetry,
in them I saw pure, innocent shyness.
If she comes and stands before you,
even the moon will step behind her.
In short, like her,
there is no girl in this entire town.
If she comes near you,
you will slowly float into the sky.
Like a statue made of glass,
she smiles and walks past you.
Oh boy, she is going to turn
your heart into a busy market!
In short, like her,
there is no girl in this entire town.
If she comes near you,
you will slowly float into the sky.
Aaha ha aa aa aa.....
Aa.....aah.....aaha.....aaha.....aa.....aah....aa.....
