Trmislation 18. 
1. O Hari, Hari, bow can I pass over tbe river o£ separation alone. 
Nowhere do I see Krishna, without whom all the world is dark. 
2. Who is there my friend upon this earth, on whose hand I can 
count in this ? Every moment my body becometh prostrate, and falleth 
under the weight of the grief of separation. 
3. What can I do ? where can I go ? From whence will come 
my salvation P The very rays of the moon scorch my body. Now I 
have no means by which to live. 
4. Fan me not with lotus leaves, 0 friend, nor sprinkle me with 
camphor. To me (even these cooling applications) seem as if it were 
raining ceaseless (burning) smokeless coals upon my body. 
5. To whom shall I tell my woes, for Love Invincible is slaying 
me. Krishna hath forgotten and deserted me. What can I do, hoping 
against hope ?* 
6. Saith Bhanjan, the chief of poets, Who can wipe out what hath 
been written in the book of fate ? Misfortune and wealth are both fleet¬ 
ing. Before long the essence of all virtues will meet thee. 
* Lit. What shall I do with calcxilating good omens (as to the future). 
means ‘ to calculate the future from omens.’
