The loss of worldly things can be calculated,
What about those emotions that went with those stored things.
The ink on letters were erased away in flood,
The old stored letters washed away too.
People are crying for the loss of
their house,
I had left my heart long ago.
I had been living a life of
adjustment,
Love, I had left long ago.
I was engrossed in life full of responsibilities,
Did not had time to remember my memories.
Today the whole city is filled with flood,
They are crying for their loss.
But I had lost my beloved's letters, poems, memories,
And today I am crying for the loss
of him.
The relation was lost long ago,
Emotions got water burial today,
For that loss of mine
I got the freedom to cry today.

(A translation of Hindi poem Sailab)
(The speaker parted ways with her beloved, got married and was living with adjustments in new life for years, in flood she loses all her belongings but the most painful was loosing old letters of her beloved.
She did not get freedom to cry when she left her beloved, today under the disguise of crying for lost worldly things, she is actually crying for her long lost relationship)
