I remember those silent sessions of weeping day and night.
I havent,t yet forgot those romantic days of love.
With restlessness unbounded, eagernees unconfined.
I remember the first time I fell in love with you.
I remember my bold advances as soon as we met.
While you stood tongue-tied, your finger 'twixt your teeth.
I remember how I twitched the corner of your veil,
While behind the mantlee you quickly hid your face.
How I tried to kiss you, deeming you asleep.
And how you spurned me with a smile, I still remember.
Finding you alone sometime, how with caution due.
By the by I'd tell my tale, I well remember.
Do you remember that time, O love,
When suitors you had none but me?
Avoiding all eyes, defying all injunction,
I remember you visting me stealthily at night.
If parting was ever mentioned on the union night.
O, how you wept and made me weep, I still remember.
How you came to call me in the mid-day heat,
Barefoot on the roof-top, I remember all.
You would bring me round with cajolings manifold.
And then pretend estrangement, I hven,t forgot.
Though it occurred long ago, I remember the place,
Where we used to hold our secret rendezvous.
Despite my vow of piety, I remember still,
The romantic tale, O Hasrat, of my sensuous days,
t and made me weep, I still remember.
