A thousand laments,
complaints untold,
A thousand laments,
complaints untold,
Yet to this heart,
love's hold,
A thousand laments,
complaints untold.

He comes to meet,
in evening's dream,
He comes to meet,
in evening's dream,
Such grace from one,
a gentle gleam,
Such grace from one,
a gentle gleam,
A thousand laments,
complaints untold.

There is a wish,
to erase him from sight,
There is a wish,
to erase him from sight,
Yet this heart needs him,
with all its might,
Yet this heart needs him,
with all its might,
A thousand laments,
complaints untold.

Let us taste,
Zafar's poison of love,
Let us taste,
Zafar's poison of love,
They say, in this poison,
honour does move,
They say, in this poison,
honour does move,
A thousand laments,
complaints untold,
Yet to this heart,
love's hold,
A thousand laments,
complaints untold.
