Bitter Almonds

Fable

Tell me a tale where the truth of love is concealed,
A story where it's hard to tell if love is akin to being thrown to sinking in quicksand,

Become captivated, lose yourself,
as the purpose for meeting seems nothing short of destruction.

Ek aisa qissa sunao, jisme mohabbat ki asliyat chhupi ho,
Aisa qissa jahan patta na chale ke mohabbat khud ko daldal mein dhakelne ke jaisa hai,

Fida ho jao, fana ho jao, milne ka sabab tabahi hi hai.
