How could I have been so blind

(2802)  Esechile pashe malaya nirjase

You had come beside me like extract of vernal breeze;
In those days, Thee I could not realize.
With smile was my Friend, the moon of mind's firmament;
But even having scrutinized, You I did not recognize.

Moonlight, by the night its beams were overshadowed;
And yet in a moment why did my heart billow?
Now looking closely, pouring light is You alone;
I did not know that also the moon's light is only Thine.

I inquired: "Why far-remote had You been?
In gloom You had kept wrapping me."
Then You told: "My return you did not see;
Never was I missing from your mind."
