Poems

Geet (Folk Song)

You never took me with you, and deserted me in Rohi
O lover, your promises!
 
You gave me separation and left
Who should I rely on now? 
 
You never took me with you and deserted me in Rohi
 
Leaving me alone, you departed
Everyone teases me
 
You promised me for months and deserted me
 
He left me, and made me insane
Run away O messenger, please find my beloved
 
O messenger you are taking too long, I am lost in Rohi
 
You gave me separation, and went on a journey
You should have told me what was my fault? 
 
You only gave me grief and I became lost in Rohi
O my love, you have not even asked how is Shakir
 
You have deserted me in Rohi.
