Sam Varghis - Dearly Loved, Do You Hear Me?

Dearly loved, do you hear me?
Where do you roams?
In the valley cardamom shoots
Mangoes ripes; paddy reaps
Springs giggle and sprints
Mynas, koel and cuckoo
Chirps, sing and whistle
To wake us daily at sunup

Dearly loved, do you hear me?
Where do you hides?
Behind the arches the ruined palace opens
Or in the remains of the palace broken
In the orchard, under an age old tree
I gave you my love on an autumn day
The tree is still highs in my heart
But I don’t know it, there or not

Ruiners left nothing intact
Several left bare hand the born land;
Others killed and buried
Remaining few are slaves
Are you still in the ruin or in captivity?
Or hiding somewhere we roamed around?
Dearly loved, where are you?
Do you hear me? the sobs of my soul?
