My heart sinks whenever I remember my beloved
My dearest lives far away, would someone bring him back?
My heart sinks whenever I remember my beloved
My heart’s desire is not with me, with whom shall I talk?
To me, nobody is like him, to whom shall I open my heart?
I keep begging but I am powerless
My heart sinks whenever I remember my beloved
I keep going to the roof awaiting his return
If the one who left ever peeked into my sighs
he would not have left alone, who can reason with him?
My heart sinks whenever I remember my beloved
