Ramesh Khatri
I feel pale since you left
Even if the river dries up, my passionate love will not dry
Even if my kind heart intentionally hurts, your heart will not hurt
Two hearts promise to be one and express cheers
Since you left, my glittering eyes are brimming with tears
You know how much I cherish you;
Who should I ask my story?
Persistently trying to get away, grieving me
Tears well up in my eyes
No smile, how can I smile gently? Somebody robs it away
Life has become dry; autumn has become empty
If I could find happiness somewhere, I would buy it with abundant money
Even the brilliant sky seems to have fallen since you are gone
I feel pale since you left
