In this reside honor of love
he betrays
and I return with loyalty
if loyalty could not help
then you tell me what else can I do?
I admire the pain
as was given by you
now the same pain is my life
how can I separate this from my heart
I am the language that never finished
the night that never ended
it is written in my destiny
the candle keeps burning
I am no one’s hearts desire
nor any eyes gaze
I am that flower
that never blossomed
but if spring never came
what can I do?
- Raja Mehdi Ali Khan
