Ancare Mukha Sasi Goya

ancare mukha-sasi goya jhara jhara locana roya

She hides her moon-like face in the corner of her veil; tears flow ceaselessly from her eyes.

karana binu ksane hasa-i utapata dirgha nisasa-i

Without any reason she suddenly laughs, then heaves long, anguished sighs.

suna suna sundara syama premaka iha parinama

Listen, listen, beautiful dark one -- this is what love has come to.

tatala tanu nahi tuta-i satata mahi-tale lutha-i

Her burning body finds no relief; she rolls constantly upon the ground.

kahuka kachu nahi kaha-i ko achu bedana saha-i

She says nothing at all to anyone; who else could bear such pain?

jagabhari kulabati bada ka de-i kara-i sambada

She is the greatest of the chaste, well-born women of this world; who dares even to send her a message?

gobinda-dasa asoyase jiba-i tuya abhilase

Govinda Dasa says: in this hopeless state, she lives only on the hope of you.
