For no reason, for a moment i wished
you were by my side...
At night, after it had stopped raining
when leaves rustled in the gentle breeze,
when the music of the 'drip-drop' of water
touched the cords of my heart,
when a frightened bird twittered
by the shatters of my window...
For no reason for a moment wished
you were by my side...
When the ' champak' sapling i had planted
in the courtyard first bloomed,
when my sweetest dreams lingered around
your scented hair...
when the songs of an ancient love story
flattered within me...
For no reason for a moment i wished
you were by my side....
