Hope springs eternal

(3544) Ajanay chile jana majhe ele

In the unknown You had been, amid the known You appeared;
Nonetheless, how much have I learned?
When as much as I know, that much I do not discern,
A form of ignorance I have augmented.

The cloud's ebony, a flower's sweet scent,
Mountain's greatness, in life good they're felt.
Mind goes on contemplating, limit it finds not;
Why of these especially, fond have I been?

I observed You not, proximate I didn't discover;
I was unable to adorn You upon the mind's altar.
And yet in a hundred manners hope races on
To entice You adjacent, close by to allure.
