Nasreen Khan - A Moment Foregone

Last night, your lost memories crept into my heart
As spring arrives secretly into an unfruitful garden
As a cool morning breeze blows slowly in a desert
As a sick person feels well, without a reason.

When the memories of you overtake me, my tears flow.
Every moment they tell me that we shall meet.
What is this life of mine, say about you? It’s just your story, this life of mine.
I will bear the pain of this separation for the eternity of my life.
In the road, my destinations are forever lost;
My troubles will go with me

Hearts broke before they could join
Tears rain down continuously without a glimpse of you
Even nature grieves with me
How do I pass the days and nights without you?
The world seems like an empty place.

Pleasant is this life by virtue of love
In the sky laugh the moon and the stars,
As for my heart, only the darkness dwells,
Approaching silently in the tracks of the eyes.

Separation from you is my fate;
Your sorrow is my life
Why should I be sad on being away from you
Since you are with me irrespective of your whereabouts.

Nasreen Khan
