tuune mujh se kiyaa thaah kabhee vaadaa,
SOMETIMES BACK YOU’D MADE ME A PROMISE:

meree taan pe tuu dau.dee chalee aayegee,
YOU’D COME RUNNING TO MY TUNE,

Aisaa ba.ndhan hai pyaar kaa yeh ba.ndhan,
SUCH IS THE BOND OF LOVE, THIS BOND

isse to.d ke tuu kaise chalee jaayegee,
HOW WILL YOU GO AWAY BREAKING IT?

kyaa yahee hai vafaa,
IS THIS ALL THE LOYALTY?

mujhe yeh toh bataa,

O MY MAHUA, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR PROMISES?

o ~~~meree jaanaa,

I REMEMBERED ALL ALONG, YOU FORGOT,

maine tere, liye re jag chho.daa,
I RENOUNCED THE WORLD FOR YOU,

WITH THE CRY FROM MY HEART TODAY

O~~~ mereee jaanaa,
O MY SOUL,

Dono ne kiyaa, izhaar magar,
BOTH OF US MADE A REVEALMENT, BUT

Mujhe yaad rahaa, tuu bhool gayee
I REMEMBERED ALL ALONG, YOU FORGOT,

maine tere, liye re jag chho.daa,
I RENOUNCED THE WORLD FOR YOU,

tuu mujh ko chho.d chalee,
YOU WENT AWAY, ABANDONING ME,

maine tere, liye re jag chho.daa,
I RENOUNCED THE WORLD FOR YOU,

tuu mujh ko chho.d chalee.
YOU WENT AWAY, ABANDONING ME.

NASIR

For in the march of all-fulfilling Time
The hour must come of the Transcendent's will:
All turns and winds towards his predestined ends
In Nature's fixed inevitable course
Decreed since the beginning of the worlds
In the deep essence of created things:
Even there shall come as a high crown of all
The end of Death, the death of Ignorance.
•INEVITABLE• Savitri, CWSA Vol. 33/34, p. 708
