Ancare Mukha Sasi Goya
AI-drafted translation — pending review
She hides her moon-like face in the corner of her veil; tears flow ceaselessly from her eyes.
Without any reason she suddenly laughs, then heaves long, anguished sighs.
Listen, listen, beautiful dark one -- this is what love has come to.
Her burning body finds no relief; she rolls constantly upon the ground.
She says nothing at all to anyone; who else could bear such pain?
She is the greatest of the chaste, well-born women of this world; who dares even to send her a message?
Govinda Dasa says: in this hopeless state, she lives only on the hope of you.
About Ancare Mukha Sasi Goya
A short Bengali pada of Govinda Dasa Kaviraja in which a sakhi describes Radha's condition in separation from Krishna -- hiding her tear-streaked face in her veil, laughing without reason and sighing without end, rolling on the ground with her burning body finding no relief. The sakhi's helplessness in the final lines, unable even to send Radha's suffering word to anyone, is the poem's real subject.
