1. A gentle breeze stirred longing in my heart
Yes, so my heart clings on

2. To the memory of one whose home is now far off
My heart is held ransom, fettered fast

3. Time reminds me of days gone by
Of life once lived, and tears flood my eyes

4. Nights with my family and with hers
My tears outpacing memories of them

5. Our gatherings were one and the same
Bonds of affection firmly tied

6. For us and for India, despite sorrow
Exile was our fate, our home forlorn

7. If that time has indeed passed away
Your bond with her will come undone

8. For I lived before absorbed in her
And union with us did hang upon
