I never looked at joy, not once embraced it,
Never looked at joy, never tasted its light.
After you, not a single face, I faced not, no, never.
I never looked at joy, not once it's call,
After you, not a single face, I faced not, no, never.
Even those who called my name, I did shun,
After you, not a single face, I faced not, no, never.
Fair visions beckoned, "Come hither, come near,"
Roses smiled, "Come home, our haven is here."
To speak, to converse, holds no appeal,
Since I saw you, all else feels unreal.
Fair visions beckoned, "Come hither, come near,"
Roses smiled, "Come home, our haven is here."
If you doubt, then go, inquire and see,
That I turned not, to a single sight.
After you, not a single face, I faced not, no, never.
I never looked at joy, not once embraced it,
After you, not a single face, I faced not, no, never.
This kind of love, none other shall give,
This beauty of heart, no other can live.
Today I found you, aloof and afar,
Who taught you this art of heartbreak's scar?
This kind of love, none other shall give,
This beauty of heart, no other can live.
Such love as mine, no other can impart,
That in thirst, not a river's edge, I did seek,
After you, not a single face, I faced not, no, never.
I never looked at joy, not once embraced it,
After you, not a single face, I faced not, no, never.
In your memory, to live and to die,
Through every moment of parting, I must comply.
In love, from me, ask not how far I've trod,
Come to where I am, and know what you've lost,
In your memory, to live and to die,
Through every moment of parting, I must comply.
To wait for you, in that thought I believe,
My life, I'll spend, not once the clock to greet,
After you, not a single face, I faced not, no, never.
I never looked at joy, not once embraced it,
After you, not a single face, I faced not, no, never.
Even those who called my name, I did shun,
After you, not a single face, I faced not, no, never.
