Love
She lightly laughed--And so is Mazhar dead?
Translated by Inayat Khan and Jessie Duncan Westbrook (1919) · From Hindustani Lyrics (1919)
Love
She lightly laughed--And so is Mazhar dead?
Alas, poor helpless one! I knew not I
What was his trouble.--Then again she said
--I did not think him ill enough to die.
