BHÚLIYÁ GIYÁCHI SE TITHI ÁJ
When the first companion came into my life,
that day I have forgotten today.
At that time the garden was full of flowers
and the moon was smiling without shyness.
The sandal breeze came
and whispered into my ears that the friend
who had come knows deception.
Today He would love
and tomorrow that Lord of my mind
would not come,
smiling from a distance only.
On that removed dust of the feet,
the sweetness of mind spreads day and night.
That stealer of mind
in the mental mirror
I search ignoring shyness.
