Like the world itself, we too were left in pieces We were not always this lonely, we were abandoned Those memories refuse to fade from the heart Nor does sleep grace the night So why do these dreams return? Why do these dreams return? Those very eyes once steeped in your love You have filled them with endless tears Endless tears At least there is some solace that we did not lose our lives At least there is some solace under the pretext of refusal... Under the pretext of repeated refusals... I gave my heart precisely where loving was forbidden I bowed in devotion where lowering my head was forbidden Why did I unveil my life Where even a single moment was not meant to be shared? Why did I dwell in that alley where I was forbidden to walk each day? Like the world itself, we too were left in pieces We were not always this lonely, we were abandoned The very lips that once offered prayers for me Later uttered bitter words against me Sit alone in solitude someday And place before you the mirror of time The face that appears It may smile gently, calling you unfaithful I gave you my heart, only to be cast aside Remember, you too have a heart I gave you my heart, only to be cast aside Remember, you too have a heart I set my heart ablaze where even lighting a lamp was forbidden I dared to recall a face I was forbidden to remember He probed my heart, yet I was forbidden to probe him I gave my heart precisely where loving was forbidden Like the world itself, we too were left in pieces We were not always this lonely, we were abandoned The very lips that once offered prayers for me Later uttered bitter words against me.
