Kavita 04 - After My Lover Has Gone Abroad

After my lover has left for abroad Happiness and gaiety are annoyed of me Sleep does not visit me even in the nights How do I, friend, put the angst of separation in words How do I spend my life ahead This world is no longer dear to me Without him, I've become desparate How do I tell you, but want to live no longer I have stopped adorning up myself It is as if I have melted down in his love Nights show me their animosity How do I tell you, friend, about our love I am by his memories deeply perturbed When night falls, my peace disturbed All hues pale, my life's become bland How do I tell you, friend, the tale of our love Since when my love has left me, lonely I have become and lost my flair for words My eyes are tired always watching the road Until now, my lover has not returned. My life is being spent thus How do I tell you, friend, the tale of our love
