Love hurts

(3255)  Tumi jadi nahi ele, kiser tare e mala rakha

In the event You did not come,
For what is this garland kept!
When light of moon did not appear,
Useless are a water-lily's sugar-coated promises.

Alas, a partridge on the new-moon night,
With vain hope does she gaze toward sky.
Hey my everlasting Darling,
Why by dark clouds are You hidden?

You know the unspoken words of psyche,
The unattained, aggregate agony.
If You want to reject a feeling,
Dreading what, in hiding dwelt?
