Navai
Navai, navai, navai, navai, (1)
The youth passes, but you don't treasure it
Your love (sorrow) has dwelled in depth of my heart,
with the same beauty and grace that Laily perched upon the saddle. (2)
Do not hurt my heart because my heart is like a wild and free bird that
if it flies, it will not return easily.
Navai, navai, navai, navai,
everyone is faithful but, O flower! you are unfaithful.
What a wonderful place is the land of love, because there
a peasant is equal with the king. (3)
Do not hurt my heart because my heart is like a wild and free bird that
if it flies, it will not return easily.
Navai, navai, navai, navai,
everyone is faithful but, O flower! you are unfaithful.
(4) I will follow your caravan with tearful eyes. I will cry in such a way that
my tears would make the path so muddy that your caravan would have to stop.
Follow the caravan with lighter steps, if you step so heavily, dust would rise from your steps. (5)
Navai, navai, navai, navai,
The youth passes, but you don't treasure it

Remaining verses of the original Navai song in English:
if a thorn wound your foot, I can easily remedy it. But tell me what to do with the thorn that has damaged my heart? How to heal my wounded heart?
Happy is that caravan that has passed the hardship of night, so at dawn it could be at its destination.
( happy is that lover that has tolerated all the hardship and pains in the path of love, because at the end there is happiness of union waiting for him.)
May God destroys all signs of separation.
Know the value of youth (fall in love while you are still young), before your youth is passed.
