Musk Lyrics English Translation – Hanan Shaah

Ismileya Sundara Vaathilinaale, Kismathililaahura Cheythathu Pole
Through the beautiful doorway of your smile, it feels as though a divine light has illuminated my destiny.

Nee Muskinte Sugandhamozhukkiyathane
You are the one who has spread the fragrance of musk.

Athilaayi Valanju Kinaakkara Mele
Above all this, the edges of my dreams slowly began to unfold.

Paathiraavile Puthumohavumayi, Paathi Jeevane Thirayunno Njanee
In the stillness of midnight, with a new longing in my heart, am I searching for the other half of my life?

Neramayore Malhaaril Melle
Gently, in the ‘Malhar’ ‘a classical Indian musical mode associated with rain and deep longing’ raga, as time goes by,

Therileriya Sancharavumenthe
Why does this chariot journey feel incomplete?

Ismileya Sundara Vaathilinaale, Kismathililaahura Cheythathu Pole
Through the beautiful doorway of your smile, it feels as if a divine light has illuminated my destiny.

Nee Muskinte Sugandhamozhukkiyathane
You alone are the one who has spread the fragrance of musk.

Athilaayi Valanju Kinaakkara Mele
Beyond it all, the edges of my dreams slowly began to open.

Kaathoram Chollaanille
Do you have nothing at all to whisper softly into my ear?

Kaathal Pookkum Vaadaamulle
My love is blossoming like an almond flower.

Kaattolam Thedum Neeram Chaare Njaninnille
When the wind is searching far and wide, am I not with you today?

Vaikaathe Vannaalenthe
Why don’t you come without delay?

Kaanaanull Thudikkarille
Doesn’t your heart pound to see me?

Kandaalo Moham Minnum Maaril Melleyanakille
If we meet, won’t the spark of longing ignite and slowly fill your heart?

Manaamila Manaasileri
In my heart, my spirit ascends.

Makhaamila Manonila
My ‘Maqam’ ‘spiritual station’ is my inner state.

Masaajida Minaramayi
It becomes like a mosque’s minaret.

Muraakhaba Nee Maathrama
My ‘Muraakhaba’ ‘contemplation’ is only you.

Ismileya Sundara Vaathilinaale, Kismathililaahura Cheythathu Pole
Through the beautiful doorway of your smile, it feels as though a divine light has illuminated my destiny.
