2970 Why Does It Bother You? (English poetry)

 Hindi version 2969

Punjabi version 2971

Why does my talking to someone trouble you so?

Why does my heart’s new connection make you feel low?


I gave you chances to speak, to let your words flow,

Why does my loving someone now hurt you so?


If you had understood my heart before I spoke,

Why does this distance between us feel like a yoke?


You always pushed your wishes, never letting go,

Why does my persuading others trouble you so?


I’ve reached the heights I once dreamed I would know,

Why does my success now bother you so?


You act on your thoughts, doing what you think is right,

Why does my self-earned victory give you a fright?


In sorrow, you left me to face the pain alone,

Why does 'Geet's' singing of joy now turn you to stone?
