Seperation

This is my English rendering to a Telugu poem written by Poet Umar Ali Shah.

Life is fainting away.
In spite of that I am standing for you.
Oh my beloved,
what sense it makes
if you come after I depart?
At least then,
will your vengence vanish?
Though you did not come when health prevailed,
would you not come to the funeral?
As the power of love
will burn you.
