What am I to do without You?

(1521)  Amar dike dur nimese

To my dismay, afar without delay,
Staring at some place, You went away.
Language of the eyes and love's desire
Of mine, You could not realize.

I could not obliterate
That smile and sweet gaze.
From a mental nook, furtively,
You applied color upon seat of psyche.

Still today, there is sketched a painting;
Inside its periphery, everything is embodied.
With lines of a paintbrush as Your facsimile
Kept intact, You left with my rhythm and beat.
