The pangs of separation

(1066)  Virahii hiya akashe cahiya

Lovesick heart, skyward gazing,
Tell me please, for Whom are you waiting?
On hushed nights, with the moon,
Tell me please, about Whom have you been speaking?

He Who made a dark world bright,
Who won with love the glum mind,
He filled with song the unsung heart;
Do tell, is it His garland you've been stringing?

You don't care a jot for loss or gain;
Earnest affection, that alone is retained.
Your psyche rushes toward Him without pause,
Toward Him Whom you've been cherishing.
