Due to Your love

(3130)  Tumi andhar nishay dhruvatara

On the dark night You're my Star of North;
From path You don't let me get lost.
In bamboo grove I am nonplussed,
Oh the woodland doe's Cherished One.

Startled by a forest rustle, timorous,
Ever afraid, engaged in thought,
Yet You, seeing me, giving heart's affection,
Watching the goings-on, You beckon.

Like the musk deer^[1] I rush about,
Fear of own darkness being roused.
I don't see a ray of light has awakened, stretching out;
On mind's depths it rises in a hundred fashions.
