There are so many secrets that the koh-e-murdar keeps
The biggest is the secret of the lovely lady who sleeps
Since long ago people have been intrigued by what they see
wondering how the sleeping beauty of Quetta came to be
Some say it was Farhad who carved an image in the stone
of his sleeping Shireen so that he would never feel alone
Some say it's of Mujnu's Layla when she last closed her eyes
a permanent reminder for us all that true love never dies
For me it doesn't matter if either of these silly stories is true
because when I look at the sleeping beauty all I see is you

because when I look at the sleeping beauty all I see is you
The "sleeping beauty" of Quetta
