Looking on the bright side

(2782)  Megher pare megh jameche

Clouds after clouds have gathered;
Through just their gaps is the light.
Yet dark alone is not life;
In it too is the sublime.

Clouds lifted by a mental wind
You implement when storm's arisen,
Dazzling skies will emerge;
That lamp just now you ignite.

Clouds just arrived in life, they persist;
Pain's melancholy blankets the happiness.
And yet you march ahead, having scorned it;
Love's nectar you spread far and wide.
