ho chhail chhabile teri yaad aayi

The Handsome One, Your memory blooms,
The Handsome One, Your memory blooms.
Memory's touch, Beloved, it returns,
Memory's touch, Beloved, it returns.
The Handsome One, Your memory blooms,
The Handsome One, Your memory blooms.

Without a glimpse, peace takes its flight,
No peace, alas, no peace in sight.
If I behold You, what then will be?
What then, oh what, then will be?
Without a glimpse, peace takes its flight,
Oh, Wanderer, oh, Traveler, tell,
My life, ensnared, in hardship's hold,
My life, ensnared, in hardship's hold.
Memory's touch, Beloved, it returns,
Memory's touch, Beloved, it returns.
The Handsome One, Your memory blooms,
The Handsome One, Your memory blooms.

A thousand shields, a thousand guards,
A thousand guards, Rama, a thousand guards.
To a stranger, my heart I gave,
My heart I gave, You took my heart.
A thousand shields, a thousand guards,
To a stranger, my heart I gave.
What hides within, unspoken deep,
What hides within, unspoken deep?
How can I speak, such shame I keep,
How can I speak, such shame I keep?
Memory's touch, Beloved, it returns,
Memory's touch, Beloved, it returns.
The Handsome One, Your memory blooms,
The Handsome One, Your memory blooms.
