"DO SITARE" from Bang e Dara and its translation by Farzana Hassan

 
 
   Two stars, aloft in splendour, met
   One to the other, gently said:
 
   "May we eachother always find
   Our destinies, forever bind
   Should heavens wish, we could be One
   Our lights would shine in unison"
 
   Alas! This wish would not come true
   For absence, was meant for the two
   Thier paths were predetermined so
   As stars must wander to and fro.

 

   Thus Love must unfulfilled remain
   Love's destiny, is anguish--pain!
