My longing remains bathed in ceaseless waves of tears,
longing hidden secretly in the depths of my mind.


My heart is broken, my mouth dumb.
I have cried and cried for You,
mind's dearest jewel
who disappeared one dark dreary night.

I have suffered unutterable pain,
shedding streams of copious tears.
Let me forget You.
Don't reappear, You,
who have forsaken me.

But alas, I cannot forget You.
I think of You again and again.
I try in vain to remove You from my mind.
Why don't You come
to replace the pangs of this loss
with the ecstatic joy of attainment.

____________________________

Bathed in ceaseless waves of tears
remains, my longing,
secret, hidden deep in the caverns of mind.

My heart lies broken,
my mouth, dumb,
though I cry and I cry
for You, the one,
the dearest jewel of my mind
who disappeared
on a dark and dismal night.

I suffer unutterable pain
shedding silent streams of tears.
Let me forget You!
Don't reappear,
You who have forsaken me once.

But,
alas,
I cannot forget You.
I think of You
again and again
though I try in vain
to remove You from my mind.

Why don't You come?
Why don't You please
replace the pangs of this loss
with ecstatic joy
of attainment.
