May it never happen!

When you are in pain I’ll shed some tears

Do not hide your sufferings my love

You’ll feel unburdened  

As if you pen down a few words in your letter

 

There your heart is pierced in thorns

And here I lie in the bed of roses

May it never happen, even if by mistake

There your eyes are flooded by tears

And here I enjoy a hearty laugh

May it never happen, even if by mistake

You will be freed from your sorrows

Share with me

Don’t hide your sorrows.

 

There at your end chulha has no fire

And here I am cooking fine food

May it never happen, even if by mistake

Your throat may be dry with thirst there

And here I have drinks in both hands

May it never happen, even if by mistake

You will be freed from your sorrows

Share with me

Don’t hide your sorrows.

 

At your end you are searching for me

And here I have lost hopes even of survival

May it never happen, even if by mistake

 

At your end you leave the letter unfinished

And I here wait for your letters

May it never happen, even if by mistake

You will be freed from your sorrows

Share with me

Don’t hide your sorrows
