I had assumed that as long as I have you, life is radiant
What anguish in the world could possibly rival the anguish of being without you

Your face is what lends permanence to springtime in this world
What is there in the world except for the beauty of your eyes
If I gain you, destiny would bow down before me

Your beauty is still enchanting, but what can I do?
There are many other sorrows in this world besides the sorrow of love
There are many other delights besides the delight of union

Beloved, don’t ask me to Love you as I loved you before

Faiz Ahmad Faiz (Poet)
