Though the Beloved promised but he did not come The night wore on in expectation Why have you forgotten the forsaken one? The night wore on in expectation He went away leaving me to pine and also snatched my joys Though the Beloved promised but did not come though he promised but he did not return perhaps he forgot the date of our meeting when would my Beloved come to see me? I wait every day for him but he doesn’t come Tell me, why should I be patient? When even today’s promise wasn’t kept my friend didn’t come Why should I condole my Beloved’s departure? When the promise of the evening’s meeting wasn’t kept The Beloved didn’t turn up Keep the promise you make When you say you’l1 come, then make sure you do, o my love Why did you chive by making me pine? The night wore on in expectation The Beloved did not come Go and bring him back Sometimes I stand at the threshold, sometimes on the terrace O mother, from morning I look forward his coming What enmity have you with me, o friend? You know not the preciousness of love After becoming mine you’re estranged from me The night wore on in expectation O my cursed heart, you cried as never before I have been condemned to a living death why have I been fated to suffer such I made a mistake by falling in love Now I repent when I think why I fell in love .The night wore on in expectation Your promises made me suffer Like the stars I keep awake at night You never kept a single promise the night wore on in expectation The Beloved promised but did not come |
