Unusual affection

(3039)  Tumi jadi bhalabaso

If You love,
Why don't You come near?
Why do You smile from afar
In a garb, mind-delighting?

My chignon's plaited hair,
From despair, it goes unfastened.
The garland strung with care,
Arraying terrain, it has withered.
With stibnite in eye's tears,
Everything floats adrift
Amid the forms, shapely.

I hear that all You recall;
In mind You keep everyone.
Honey You coat at psyche's core,
Amid a grove of madhavi.
