The fragrance of our love is still fresh br Your portrait in me I always relish br br Full of my thoughts you cause sweet stirs br Heart-beats sound melodies of our nearness and intimacy br br Though I am here and you are there br My dear Empress! To your beauty I am always bound br br Gleaming as full moon you converse in me br Spreading as moon-light your friendship soothes me br br My joy is restricted br To the replay of the memories of our pleasant past; br br When the breeze of our love gently touches br My heart, like a leaf-let, dances br br Loving is eternal br Though bodies enjoy union or not br And become ashes br br Your longings for me I am unaware br I daily suffer separation from you br br Our hearts swim in the ocean of friendship br And are joined by the knot of love br Though fate made us live separately br Pleasant thoughts unite us in the paradise of our love br br When aches torment and fry my heart br Your compassionate and dear looks shower affection br Cool and relieve me br And your sweet words soothe me; br br When is the moment br When we are together again br And rejoice in each other’s arms br And become one in the union br Of bodies and selves sublimebr br Varanasi Ramabrahmambr br
