Beholding
your loveliness maddened me with longing.
How cruel you left me languishing
with this desire !
Did you enter my bower of
love just to put a spell
On my senses, taste my
bloom and leave me in blight ?
Faithless one! Your furtive
look pierced my soul;
And my virgin, loving heart
fluttered like a wounded bird.
Being simple, and trusting
faith, I offered all my love.
It's you who played me
false, and left me desolate.
For all my faith and dignity,
you chose to slander me,
Disgrace me and toss me
out, with a taunt as your gift.
O how you broke my heart,
staying away displeased,
Leaving me to rue my fate,
all consumed with longing !
Beloved, your letter - the
parting gift - bristled with taunts.
It was holding with your
hands the mortal cup to my lips !
You led me to my grave,
with a fitting deathly pallor,
Like a blighted jessamine
bush, burnt with the fire of love.
Majoor, lying far
away, in hiding as it were,
Says, 'dear friend, how
can you leave,
Forgetting all your vows ?
