HARKH NATII, 
121 
(9.) 
Krislin entreats Radha to relent. 
1. Let not thy heart be hard. Forgive my faults ; be pleased with 
me, 0 lady, and fulfil my heart’s desires. 
3. When I beheld thy face mournful, lady, I wandered restlessly 
o’er the world. Thy face is like the moon, and my heart like the chalcor * 
which findeth not surcease of woe therein. 
5. As I searched for thee, my heart melted ; for even the moon-beams, 
the champ ak\ leaf, sandal, and the music of the cuckoo in the fifth scale, 
were as fire unto me. 
7. O wise one, think well and turn not aside thy face from a 
suppliant. If the lioney-loving bee desert the honey and turn back in 
fear of thorns, the loss is that of the ketki\ flower. 
9. The night is passed and dawn hath come. Even now, lady, give 
up thy pride. King Lakslimisvar Sill understandeth her charms, and Harkh 
Nath singeth them.

Krislin entreats Radha to relent. 
1. Why sittest thou with averted face P Put aside from it thy veil, 
my pretty one, and with pleased heart cast one glance upon me. 
3. Put aside my faults, and utter but one word. Let not thy face be 
melancholy. Scorn not thy devoted love, but bestow upon him the nectar 
of thy lip. 
5. Without thee, lady, my heart is never for a moment at rest; yet 
in spite of ten thousand endeavours, thy heart, hard as adamant, doth not 
change. 
7. If the fault is mine, pretty one, why hast thou put aside thy 
necklace ? Who would decide that one should suffer for another’s fault ? 
9. The night is past and dawn hath come. Even now, lady, give 
up thy pride. King Lakslimisvar Sill understandeth her charms, and Harkh 
Nath singeth them.

1. The dancers, warriors, and astrologers, all at once obtained their 
desires in the shape of horses, elephants, chariots, gold, rubies, jewels, 
and pearls upon their heads.
