apno ne luta hai dil mera tuta hai

With love she ensnared, and claimed me as her own,
Then painted my blood on her hands as henna's stain.
She came, adorned, to my funeral pyre, alone.
She came, adorned, to my funeral, in pain.
With love she ensnared, and claimed me as her own,
Then painted my blood on her hands as henna's stain.
She came, adorned, to my funeral pyre, alone.
With love she ensnared, and claimed me as her own.

My heart I surrendered, my life I gave,
This is the reward for the love I'd known.
My own betrayed me, my spirit did cave,
To whom shall I voice my sorrow, alone?

Kohl in her eyes, jasmine in her hair,
Henna upon her hands, a crimson bloom.
With rivals beside her, a cruel affair,
She came to my death, sealed by gloom.

Bearing tears of sorrow, of feigned fidelity,
She came, expressing a love untrue.
And spoke of my death, a cruel decree,
Burning my heart, as the vultures flew.
