Mould my tender heart, make it full and fill me with joy! Come! Take me to a lonely grove and fill me with the emotions of ecstatic union! You are the one who danced and made merry on the sun-bathed waves of the ocean! Am I to go on pleading for you with melting heart, While you are enjoying yourself with other women? Is it right? Is it proper? Is it what dharma is? My heart dances even like your eardrops do when you blissfully play the flute! (My sad heart is all aflutter) |
