Gita Govinda 1.5.18

1.5.18

āśleṣād anu cumbanād anu nakho-lekhād anu svāntaja-prodbodhād anu sambhramād anu ratārambhād anu prītayoḥ |
anyārthaṃ gatayor bhramān militayoḥ sambhāṣaṇair jānator dampatyor iha ko na ko na tamasi vrīḍā-vimiśro rasaḥ ||

And thine own bliss
Delays by this;
The utmost of thy heaven comes only so
When, with hearts beating
And passionate greeting,
Parting is over, and the parted grow.

One--one for ever!
And the old endeavour
To be so blended is assuaged at last;
And the glad tears raining
Have nought remaining
Of doubt or 'plaining; and the dread has passed.

Out of each face,
In the close embrace,
That by-and-by embracing will be over;
The ache that causes
Those mournful pauses
In bowers of earth between lover and lover:

To be no more felt,
To fade, to melt
In the strong certainty of joys immortal;
In the glad meeting,
And quick sweet greeting
Of lips that close beyond Time's shadowy portal.
