Translation 1. 
1. The dawn hath appeared in the east, the whole night hath 
flowed away, the moon hath disappeared in the sky. The waterlily* 
hath closed, and yet, O Lady, thy lotns face is unopened. 
2. Thy countenance is like unto the lotus, and thine eyes the dark- 
blue lily. Thy lip resembleth the carnation.f Thy whole body hath 
been created of flowers. Why, then, is thy heart of stone ? 
3. Because thou faintest, thou wearest not the bracelet on thine 
arm; and (thou complainest that) that the necklace o’er thy heart is too 
heavy. Yet the burden of scorn which is weighty as a mountain thou 
throwest not off. Strange are thy ways. 
4. Give up thy waywardness, and gaze upon me joyfully, 0 Lady. 
Let the sunrise be the end of thy scorn. Saith the wise Umapati, The 
king of kings, the Lord of the Hindus, knoweth every sentiment.

Translation 2. 
1. O proud one, if thou art angry at my fault, be appeased, and show 
not wrath. 
2. Thy brow is a bow, and thy glances arrows. String thy bow 
and strike me, 0 moon-faced one. 
3. Consider thy firm bosom as a great mountain,]; and bind me to 
it. Lady, with thine arms for bonds. 
* The waterlily is supposed only to open its flowers by night, and the lotns by 
day.
