You were faithless

by Firooz   Aug 23, 2005


You and I cemented our relationship with grief. Apart from faithfulness, what mistake did I make?
The bond was formed; then our vows unraveled...
O beloved,
what sort of repayment did I get for my faithfulness? what sort of gift did you give in return?...

Your promises, (all) those intentions...
O beloved, they were all forgotten; (so) what sort of gift did you give in return for my fidelity?

I don't understand what fault you found in me; I only nurtured our love.
Beholding the goblet of love, you gave me the poison of hate to drink...
You made me drink the toxin of hate.

I'll never be able to sleep again, never be able to fall in love with someone else. Go ahead, become a stranger, but I can't be one to you. For the sake of some outsider you forgot the one who was your own...
You forgot me; yes, you forgot all about me...

I can't live now, darling; I can't bear to drink this poison, my love. In just a few moments, a connection of many lifetimes was erased... In moments it was erased. The bond was formed; then our vows unraveled...
O beloved,
what sort of repayment did I get for my faithfulness? what sort of gift did I get in return?...

Loves all and hate none
