I used to see my beloved Lord without a blink of the eye as a ruddy sheldrake looks at moon. There used to be no break. But now I don't even see Him in a dream.
Previously, I used to hear the melody of my beloved's sweet words from His mouth, but now I do not even receive His messages even from the passers by coming or going this way.
Previously, even the interference of the necklace around my neck was not tolerated between us at the time of our meeting on the nuptial bed, but now many mountain size customs have come up between us. How can I raise them down and reach my beloved Lord?
Previously in my spiritual tranquility, I had the happiness and bliss of being near Him, but I am now crying with pangs of separation. (670)
