1.7.11

tat kiṃ kām api kāminīm abhisṛtaḥ kiṃ vā kalā-kelibhir baddho bandhubhir andhakāriṇi vanābhyarṇe kim udbhrāmyati |
kāntaḥ klānta-manā manāg api pathi prasthātum evākṣamaḥ saṅketī-kṛta-mañju-vāñjula-latā-kuñje'pi yan nāgataḥ ||

Yet, if I wrong him! (sang she)--can he fail?
Could any in the wood win back his kisses?
Could any softest lips of earth prevail
To hold him from my arms? any love-blisses

Edwin Arnold 1875, The Indian Song of Songs

Blind him once more to mine? O Soul, my prize!
Art thou not merely hindered at this hour?
Sore-wearied, wandering, lost? how otherwise
Shouldst thou not hasten to the bridal-bower?

Edwin Arnold 1875, The Indian Song of Songs
