The night like a venomous snake,
Hisses at me... to devour me,
The stars are stones drifting in space,
And the monsoon wind a raging fire.
Every support has collapsed O God!
Who will heal my broken heart?
If a temple crumbles it's rebuilt,
Can anyone mend this soul of mine?
You have taken my beloved from me,
Yet You say I follow Your guidance?
You shouldn't have created love O God,
Nor should You have made hearts that pine.
O come on my Lord! I am hurt... shattered!
What if I drown myself in wine?
Baffle me not with Your scriptures,
To me only my love was mine.
You made all out of love for someone,
You made paradise because You too loved,
Then why place blocks in my path?
Am I too not a lover O God?
