Even though your eyes are filled with tears,
you are one with beautiful eyes.
Tell me, why did you not braid your hair?

Under the moonlight,
The land loti (lotus flowers) remain half open and half closed.
Who is that unknown traveller

who came and captured your heart?

After capturing your heart,
He went away
and did not return again.
I hear that traveller has come again,
but He remains far away avoiding you.

He didn't come near,
He had no courage;
yet you didn't stop loving Him.
Although your eyes are filled with tears,
Your eyes are very beautiful.

-----------------------------------------

I can see tears filling Your eyes,
O beautiful eyed one!

And I wonder why have you not tied your chignon?
The bush lotus remains in half bloom in the moonlight.

Which unknown traveler has come,
won Your heart,
left again
and did not return?

I heard that the same unknown traveler
has again come.
He does not have the courage to come closer.
Yet, you do not stop loving Him.
