In the last three years of separation I
have made my beloved eternal,
Every moment I have missed her I grew
weaker and wrote a journal.
She was my world, boundless and
everlasting living as my soul mate,
She is the object of my yearning now
I'm waiting for her at every gate.
In her divine and pure shadow I've
made a new shelter for my living,
I have called that Saroj Niwas where I
spend all my sorrowful craving.
I am hiding here from dawn till dusk
scattering all my tears in the dust,
My overflowing eyes keep honouring the
love I have for her in trust.
This is the temple of our union where I
am lost and forgotten everything,
All her fond memories are raining in the
ocean searching for something.
I often wake up every morning to lift
from my face that veil of tears,
I get lost in the day like a drop of water
in the hot sand of three years.
How can I get rid of these internal pains
and sorrows so vast and great?
Where could I retrieve the lamp that lit
my life with pride to reinstate?
A mere pull of hers from my hold has
made me long from age to age,
I am left with words of tribute that I
have filled from page to page.
Now she remains my distant glory of
worship and my love divine,
I'm now her earthly lover left alone here
without her love and shine.
