Tillotama's Plea to Musafir

Deep within those mocking eyes

I know somewhere there he lies

Who once had the vision

To see through lies

And was brave enough

To raise his voice.

Come back Musafir

Your Tilottama cries

Deep behind that careless pose

I know hidden are the throes

Of broken dreams painful

And night of woes

When your words were piled

And flames rose

Come back Musafir

Your Tillotama calls

Deep behind that greedy rot

I know throbs a tender heart

That gold and riches have

Failed to bought

It still beats for

The helpless lot

Come back Musafir

Your Tillotama calls

O Musafir dear Musafir !

No more this facade

Now end this charade

Arise awake

For Lover's sake

Let the night be over

No more we suffer

Come back Musafir

Your Tillotama calls
