Even though your eyes are filled with tears,
you are one with beautiful eyes,

Tell me, why did you not braid Your hair?

Under the moonlight,
The landlotii remain halfopen and halfclosed.
Who is that unknown traveller who came
and captured your heart?

After captivating your heart He went away
and did not return again.
I hear that traveller has come again,
but He remains far away avoiding you.

He didn't come near,
He had no courage;
yet you didn't stop loving Him.
Although your eyes are filled with tears,
Your eyes are very beautiful.



I find tears filling Your eyes,
O beautiful eyed one,
and I wonder why have not You tied your chignon?
The bush lotus remains half bloomed in the moonlight.

Which unknown traveler has come,
won Your heart,
again left
and not returned?

I heard that the same unknown traveler
has again come.
He does not have the courage to come closer.
Yet, you do not stop loving Him.
