DISGUISED DAYBREAK

Wake up and see how desolate is this world of mine,

How the disguised daybreak's flash exposes my sad decline!



With closed eyes I am whiling away this gloomy night,

Hoping you come in my dream and see how for you I pine.



Why are you now bent upon destroying your love's abode? Weren't you the one who said in it resides your soul divine?



Wake up and see how desolate is this world of mine,

How the disguised daybreak's flash exposes my swift decline!
