Loving You

(679)  Tomare bhalobasiya

Loving You,
Gazing at Your path,
How many ages have now passed?
I know but that it's been lifetimes.

In love with the moon is the lily;
For the moon she laughs and cries.
The moon, does it not realize,
Does it not understand the lily's mind?

The earth, full of love and affection,
Without You, its charm is all absent.
Like a cobra who has lost her gem,^[1]
I keep crying, plunged in distress.

Maintaining hope, I have survived;
With hope my heart I've pacified.
Tell me please, this hope of mine...
Will it never be fulfilled?
