Jane Kyun Log Mohabbat Kiya Karte Hain

Love has broken many hearts and burned down many houses,
yet why do people love and trade heart for pain

They seek gathering. But, all they get is loneliness.
Love is a path that reaches no destination.
There is no success. The heart eventually breaks.
This is how love concludes.
World will never understand why the moth gets
so uneasy and burns itself in flame.
Life of Passionate people is full of sighs.
Why do people still love

The month of Sawan makes separation unbearable.
When heart yearns for someone tears come out of eyes.
The life becomes useless. Some complain is there all the time.
Medicines become ineffective. Even the prayers do not heal.
How does everyone still accept this and swallow the poison (of love)

This happens all the time in love.
The beloved is accused of all the pain.
This spectacle repeats day and night.
The stories of love become longer than the nights.
People in love tell tales of beloved’s tyranny.
That the beloved is untrustworthy.
That the beloved is unfaithful.
They call names to the tyrant whom they love so much.
Why do they do all this? Why do people love
