[Lyric] Affection (Mahendar Bhatnagar)

They are neither rare
Nor precious
Not at all available
On earth or in heaven
Tears ... of unique love,
Of the soul
Of expanse unfathomable!

A dark cloud of tears surges

From the deep undiscovered

Pilgrimage of the heart,
And then ...
At that moment when
The splendour of holy feelings
Spreads on the face ­
Both eyes filled with tears,
The edge of the sari1 wipes them away!
