"Immortalize my words"

While I admire our fellow blogger's enthusiasm and motivation to write ghazals, I hesitate to partake. Poetry is far from my forte (well, writing in general is). So while I ponder and let my muse inpire me, I shall listen to the great Indian maestros such as Pankaj Udhas and Jagjit Singh and hope for some creativity to flow:

Rough English translation:

Touch my song with your lips, make it immortal:
Be my beloved, make my love immortal.
No restriction of age, not the bond of lives:
When someone loves should see only the soul:
By carving new trend, make the trend immortal.
Loneliness of the sky is in my lone heart:
With rattling paayal enter into my life:
By giving own breaths make the music immortal:
Make the music immortal, make my song immortal.
World snatched from me, whatever was beloved to me:
All won from me, I lost at every moment:
By losing your heart you make my victory immortal.
