Sasui: Desi-XVI
(The Native)

1

I careless was first part of night;
so morning brought despair-
For while I slept my rider-spouse
for travel did repair;
For my destruction to prepare
at mid-night they did leave.

2

O mountain-, that does stand between
my love and me, thy threat is vain-
Had there a thousand mountains been
my longing would have crossed them all.

3

The sacred knot that love has tied
between Punhu and me...
Now in beauteous Bhambore to stay
Poison for me shall be...
Do not advise me sisters, to
return to home and glee;
Because my breath is property
of my beloved Hoat.

4
With linging I lay down, with eyes
awake and found no slept, he came
and then I could not rise-
Sisters I erred, for in what wise
is longing kin to sleep?
