Ramesh Khatri
It hurts sometimes when you are away.
Tears well up in my eyes as I cry.
Today I feel alone, after you left me alone.
The day passes as it does; the lovely night does not pass
What a devoted love of my beloved!
I wish to hug you, always to be with you, and live forever on your lap.
After positing the relationship on the other side, twisting the other way
This is the nature of love that needs to be liberated.
Always smile, as the moon shines brightly.
What a passionate love for my beloved!
What a game of boundless love, to willingly meet and get rid of
I don’t want to live anymore in a selfish world
Always take care of yourself, no matter where you are.
My love is beyond numbers, even if you are a stranger.
What a devoted love for my beloved!
