There is no forgetting Him

(3143)  Chapiye kajal ankhite chilo jal

On kohl-stamped eyes there had been water;
The why I do not comprehend... to state I cannot.
Rainclouds having come down, making effusive,
He went away... unto where, I know not.

I had thought that I won't shed a stream from eyes;
One Who retires afar, oh, is He mine?
In solitude of the mind, with my moody songs,
I see He's kept staying; longing floods on.

Making vain or conceited, naught is there;
Always I move about, around Him circling.
Every instant, thrilling me with splendor,
In thought He grins; that can't be forgot.
