Kavita 04 - After My Lover Has Gone Abroad

Rating: 5.0


After my lover has left for abroad
Happiness and gaiety are annoyed of me
Sleep does not visit me even in the nights
How do I, friend, put the angst of separation in words
How do I spend my life ahead
This world is no longer dear to me
Without him, I've become desparate
How do I tell you, but want to live no longer

I have stopped adorning up myself
It is as if I have melted down in his love
Nights show me their animosity
How do I tell you, friend, about our love

I am by his memories deeply perturbed
When night falls, my peace disturbed
All hues pale, my life's become bland
How do I tell you, friend, the tale of our love

Since when my love has left me, lonely
I have become and lost my flair for words
My eyes are tired always watching the road
Until now, my lover has not returned.
My life is being spent thus
How do I tell you, friend, the tale of our love

This is a translation of the poem Jab Se Piya Pardesh Gaye Hai... by KAVITA SINGH

Distance is very hard to bear. When lovers are separated by miles, the psychological aches become a routine. Life loses its colors n flavors and becomes one long endless journey of wait. Well expressed feelings.

Sleep does not come in separation of lover. Lover has gone abroad and life has fallen in loneliness. Feeling life's status is amazing definitely. Wonderful love poem is shared here.10

Thank you Mahakul Saab! For reading this poem and posting such generous comments. You have read the original and would agree that I have not been able to capture its beauty. And all your good words, definitely is due to Kavita. She is a truly talented poet. Obliged.
