In love, a million lovers have perished,
In love, treasures are plundered and lost.
In love, even those who have seen the world,
Are blinded, whatever the cost.
In love, a million lovers have perished,
In love, treasures are plundered and lost.
In love, even those who have seen the world,
Are blinded, whatever the cost.
In love, when I did, belief took hold,
Love is deceit, love is a lie,
Love is deceit, oh friend.
Love, a malady, only pain,
Keep your medicine near.
Love is deceit, love is a lie,
Love is deceit, oh friend.
Love, a malady, only pain,
Keep your medicine near.
Love is God, so they say,
A thousand arrows of the mystic have flown.
Why then, in hearts,
Did Ranjha and Heer burn alone?
Since I hid within my heart,
A single, secret portrait shown,
It feels as though a chain,
Has fallen on my heartbeat's throne.
What I never thought, oh, has now become,
Love is deceit, love is a lie,
Love is deceit, oh friend.
Love, a malady, only pain,
Keep your medicine near.
Love is deceit, love is a lie,
Love is deceit, oh friend.
Love, a malady, only pain,
Keep your medicine near.
Love is called, they say,
The gateway to paradise.
Why then, in this paradise,
Are joys so few, and sorrows so rife?
Since I made with my own heart,
The promise of love's deep life,
My heart was wounded so,
It's broken, torn in half, with strife.
I asked, and the heart only wept and cried,
Love is deceit, love is a lie,
Love is deceit, oh friend.
Love, a malady, only pain,
Keep your medicine near.
In love, when I did, belief took hold,
Love is deceit, love is a lie,
Love is deceit, oh friend.
Love, a malady, only pain,
Keep your medicine near.
Love is deceit, love is a lie,
Love is deceit, oh friend.
Love, a malady, only pain,
Keep your medicine near.
