When you think of yourself with the one you love
You feel happy, as if you have got all
You had wished, and nothing more to please the soul.
Then comes realisation, that sweet dreams are dreams after all,
You may not be able to meet the one.
You can be a fool, a mortal, someone deep in the sins
But you can repent after all?
Will you be able to reach where you dream of being?
Somewhere white and Serene
Quiet, and give it a touch of red
Of your saree draped,and a handful of Sindur
On your forehead.
So I again come back from dreaming
Maybe not this life, but next time will it be?
Do I even know myself? Or is it a dare I take?
To dream so , yet this is not sinful
Neither should all those deeds unknown stop me from pursuing you.
Can I get one glimpse this life?
Just once, maybe before I die
Is it paining me to feel so far
That it is not worthy of the Lord of this Sangsar.
I am helpless, one day I thought I may not feel this
Slowly days went, and I feel what was destined
I foolishly wishing you, and thinking and sewing dreams
That may be so far, you know..
I can go on, pulled by strings of harsh judgement and naive dreams
Sinful mind and devoted dreams
Mind of a man and the heart of a devotee
A lover I see, and a wish so big that my heart aches that I may not reach
But it is not easy, I need to wait
maybe for some lives to come
Then can I reach where I dream myself sitting
On your left, in white, serene.
