श्यामास्वङ्गं चकित-हरिणी-प्रेक्षणे दृष्टिपातं
वक्त्रच्छाया शशिनि शिखिनो बर्ह-भारेषु केशान् ।
उत्पश्यामि प्रतनुषु नदी-वीचिषु भ्रू- विलासान्
हन्तैकस्मिन् क्वचिदपि न ते चण्डि ! सादृश्यमस्ति ॥

[११६]
शापान्तो मे भुजग-शयनादुत्थिते शार्ङ्ग-पाणौ
शेषान् मासान् गमय चतुरो लोचने मीलयित्वा ।
पश्चादावां विरह-गुणितं तं तमात्माभिलाषं
निर्वेक्ष्यावः परिणत-शरच्चन्द्रिकासु क्षपासु ॥

Meghadūta (Uttara-Megha)
(Cloud Messenger, Part - 2)
English Translation By : Dr. Harekrishna Meher
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
[110]
The charm of your limbs I see
in Priyangu creepers.
In the eyes of the frightened Does
I observe your glances.
In the Moon, I find the glamour
of your attractive face.
In the peacock- plumes, beauty
of your hairs I look.
In the thin waves of rivers
I mark the gestures
of your eye-brows.
But alas ! O My Warm-spirited Darling !
Similarity of yours in one place
is nowhere seen together.
*
[116]
The curse befallen on me will end,
when Lord Vishņu, the wielder of Śarńga bow,
will wake up from the bed of serpent.
The remaining four months you please spend
closing your eyes anyhow.
The desires that we have fostered
in hearts during the period
of our long separation,
all we'll fulfil and enjoy soon
in the coming autumn season
at the nights enchanting and effulgent
with the sweet rays of Moon.
