SOME LOVE TOO IS FALSEHOOD AND LIES

When fate overturns and the world changes,

And there is nobody around for you,

O people, will you tell me please,

Should I call love a truth or lies?



With misfortune, one's shadow too,

Detaches itself from one's being,

And that soul strikes and stabs you whom,

You adored with all your heart and mind.



When fate overturns and the world changes,

Then who is there around, for you?



There is no fidelity anywhere here,

No one cares for fidelity here,

And to those who claim true love abounds,

I say it's a concoction of a liar.



When fate overturns and the world changes,

Then who is there around for you?



My boat managed to sail through storms,

On nearing shore it capsized and sank,

Tell me God! How, in your scheme of things,

A glaring error such as this occur?



When fate overturns and the world changes,

Then there's nobody around for you,

O people, please let me warn you,

Love's a cancer that destroys lives...
