He unfolded his red turban lying on his khaat
Seeing me in my new ghagra-choli he bought
The evening sun setting in his eyes like a candle
While the stars sing as I watch him eat dal bhat
Tonight, I will be awake in all the quarters of the night
Watching your dreams tune away by the sarangi at my side

Khaat: A bed made of straws or rope popular in rural areas of India
ghaghra-choli: A Rajasthani traditional dress
Dal Bhat: A Rajasthani food dish
Sarangi: It is a bowed, short-necked string instrument from India
