Mohinder and the Maharani

Mohinder and the Maharani set out early one morn Mohinder and the Maharani in the light of the dawn In the light of the dawn by the gates of Pushkar town In the light of the dawn by the gates of Pushkar town Mohinder and the Maharani in their gold and silver rings Surrender to the camel's rocking and the bells, they sweetly sing Oh the camels dance over gently shifting sands Oh the camels dance over gently shifting sands Mohinder and the Maharani make camp by dinnertimе Bless the fire and thе hot chapati after the long day's drive Over the dunes comes the goat-herder's tune And round the campfire, dance the Maharani hands Mohinder and the Maharani lay down beneath the sky The full moon and stars are shining, oh the night is so bright The night is so bright, sleep won't come tonight And the moon so full shines into the lovers' eyes Mohinder and the Maharani spent a fortnight crossing land Bells ringing, camels dancing, nights curled up on the sand When the fortress at Jaisalmer on the horizon appears The freedom of the desert is all the more dear When the fortress at Jaisalmer on the horizon appears The freedom of the desert is all the more dear
