Kashmiri Love Verses

Original in Kashmiri:

Rozu bozu, bozu myaien zaar madno
daadi chaane' chhas ha baimaar madno

Nazre chaane' syeet baimaar balaey' kyeet
myaani vize' ha loguth baimaar madno

Listen, listen my beloved, listen to the travails of my heart
I suffer from your love, my beloved

Your one look eases the suffering of so many
But when it came to me, you feigned illness, my beloved

~Rahul Pandita


***

Final Version:

Listen, my beloved, listen
Listen to the affairs of my heart
I am suffering, my beloved
I am suffering from your love

Your one look allays
The sufferings of so many;
But for me you feign illness, my love
