poorani sarad sasi sakal sansaar kahai , mayray jaanay bar baisantar kee ook hai |

The light of full moon is considered cool and comforting by the whole world. But to me (suffering the pangs of separation of the beloved) it is like a burning wood.

This pain of separation is causing countless fiery sparks in the body. The sighs of separation are like hissing sound of a cobra,

Thus fire of separation is so strong that even stones break into pieces when they touch it. Despite much effort my chest is breaking into pieces. (I can't bear the pain of separation anymore).

Separation of the beloved Lord has made both living life and death burdensome. I must have made a blunder in abiding by the vows and promises of love that I had made that is sullying my human birth. (The life is going to waste). (573)
