The Pearl of Memory as a Garland

I kept wandering in search of you
In this transient world by day and night
I travelled different diverted ways like rivers
I walked through the twisted forests 
Over the Oceans and desert
Having taken the lamp in hand
I searched you everywhere in darkened places
But I found you nowhere
I have nothing except the sweet memories
On the black sheet of night
My dreams have lost their ways
Like pearls scattered everywhere
I have lost the pearl garland 
I don't know how to get that garland again
How to tell my mind now
That the pearl has settled in the other world
How to explain the truth to the mind
Neither will you get that pearl again
Nor will the pearl shine again as a garland

Beautiful Starry Nights

Beautiful starry nights, 
Don't let me sleep, 
In moonlit night your love talks, 
Don't let me sleep, 

When we met in that spring season,
The flowers of love bloomed in our hearts,
Often we met in that garden under the oak embracing each other
All these memories, don't let me sleep

When we walked along the canal,
Your silken hairs shone beautifully in air,
Your pink face looked like the shining moon,
All this, don't let me sleep
Beautiful starry nights,
Don't let me sleep
