Translation:
Oh beloved, come come
to my abode, I wait eagerly…
Overwhelm my senses…
to date, they slept poorly!
Across all the bounds, I hear the bell sounds,
leaving the crown, you are to arrive…
Our love mounts, as you break the grounds,
I wait eagerly to catch your sight…
Oh, beloved, it’s you who I belong to…
Who even belongs to me, without you?
My all charms owe to your presence…
I’ve nothing with me in your absence.
All corners of the world too, bow to you…
Who even belongs to me, without you?
Who even belongs to me, without you?
Across all the bounds, I hear the bell sounds,
leaving the crown, you are to arrive…
Our love mounts, as you break the grounds,
I wait eagerly to catch your sight…
With a whirling form,
and a drunken spirit,
I keep referring myself
as “just yours”,
Whole world knows
state of my heart now,
Yet it’s only I who knows
what resides in yours.
Turn up, bring along
letters dipped in emotion…
Turn up, reaffirm
you own my devotion…
My all charms owe to your presence…
I’ve nothing with me in your absence.
World’s illuminated
colors are splashed,
No matter where I run
my sight gallant.
Proud of self,
even if beyond the sense,
I adoringly surrender
myself as rampant.
Turn up, to contain
my unhinged sensibilities…
Turn up, to bring me
down with pointless ease…
Across all the bounds, I hear the bell sounds
leaving the crown, you are to arrive…
Our love mounts, as you break the grounds,
I wait eagerly to catch your sight…
Oh, beloved, it’s you who I belong to…
Who would belong to me, without you?
My all charms owe to your presence…
I’ve nothing with me in your absence.
All corners of the world too, bow to you…
Who even belongs to me, without you?
Who even belongs to me, without you?
– Dedicated to the Rhanjaas of the world… As till the world remains, so will they.
For the world will keep having them, and keep remembering each, for their yearning in love and in that purity achieving enlightenment. i.e. There’s no death but only life in unity with the beloved after being parted.
