Who are you trying to trick?
Tell me, where are you running?
Who are you trying to trick?
Tell me, where are you running?
I hold the secret strings in my hands,
Just get up and stand still... oh!
None of your tricks will work here, Begum!
You glare like a wild cat,
You sly girl!
I poured out a fortune,
And bought you, my dear!
You are a young beauty, and I am a handsome man,
Would I ever let you go now?
I hold the secret strings in my hands,
Just get up and stand still... oh!
None of your tricks will work here, Begum!
Who are you trying to trick?
Tell me, where are you running?
I have a tender heart inside me,
And I will give a special place in it for you, Beevi!
Why this surprise? Why this anger?
All of this is completely normal to me...
I hold the secret strings in my hands,
Just get up and stand still... oh!
None of your tricks will work here, Begum!
Who are you trying to trick?
Tell me, where are you running?
Seeing my beard, your heart hesitates,
Feel my pulse, and you will know my real age!
Don't think of running away, don't act proud,
If you stay, you will live in comfort...
I hold the secret strings in my hands,
Just get up and stand still... oh!
None of your tricks will work here, Begum!
Who are you trying to trick?
Tell me, where are you running?
I hold the secret strings in my hands,
Just get up and stand still...
