Into the dense depth
of the garden of campaka flowers,
You came for my sake.

In Your eyes, love had mingled
and a soft smile lay on Your lips.

The fragrance of campa was floating in the air,
resonating in all the directions of the horizon.
In that fragrance,
with affection and love,
You embedded the essence of nectar.

I was walking through the forest path,
harbouring in my mind the hope of attaining You.
My overwhelming heart did not see You
and our rendezvous remained in mind only.
