My Desideratum

(3337) Kata vitandra vibhavarii tomari tare

For just Your sake many a sleepless night
Mine has transpired, Lord, mine has gone by.
Nights aplenty filled with gloom
Have wrapped me in absence of light.

From tears my eyelids, they are drenched,
By a lost wayfarer's wails distressed.
Not even once again came You to my residence,
But I keep hearing You are mine.

Though came not, no harm is there if I get amid psyche;
In my world there's no one else but Thee.
Having come in reverie and smiled sweetly charming,
Please go on saying: "I am thine."
