Silence

Your silence does not let me live,
She keeps making me sad all the time.

Even if I try to convince you,
You always sit with your face turned away.

If I confess my guilt,
You keep showering embers from your eyes.

Even if you hear my painful cry,
You appear to me to be of a stone heart,

I always fulfill all your dreams,
You don't feel my love.

Even if you hear my heartbeat,
You disturb the rhythm of the heartbeat.

 I sing ghazals of your love,
 Your silence makes my voice soundless.

 How long will you remain silent, my darling "Murali",
 Why does you making me a live shroud?
