Ghazal Analysis

Ghazal 1

Ramkrishna Das

At least, for the sake of hurting I beg you to come to me
Long before the saddest parting I beg you to come to me

I am not demanding you to bestow me treasure of love
Once for the sake of acting I beg you to come to me —

If you think your love for me can be expressed by hiding it
Long before you hid that feeling I beg you to come to me

It is my sinister luck that I don't make a proper match
For you are extremely charming I beg you to come to me

With your all lame excuses don't make Archi's life a hell
One day, for never returning I beg you to come to me
