My ever closest companion
was near me in dream.
He went away, saying He would return,
but He did not yet come back.

That distant friend had taken away only,
without giving anything in return.
Whatever honey was inside my mind,
He took it away all.

The lamp of hope that He gave me,
was it but a mere delusion?

Remembering that,
my heart gets agitated even today.
Who knows whether He loves me or not,
whether He comes to me or not?

I may stop loving Him,
I may stop talking to Him,
but I am unable to forget Him.
He was in dream,
and went away with the assurance of again returning.
But that effulgent entity did not come.
