Gita Govinda 1.7.21

1.7.21

viraha-pāṇḍu-murāri-mukhāmbuja-dyutir ayaṃ tirayann api vedanām |
vidhur atīva tanoti mano-bhuvaḥ suhṛd aye hṛdaye madana-vyathām ||

Having the luster of Murāri's lotus face pale in separation, yet veiling its pain, / this moon, the friend of mind-born love, intensifies to the utmost the torment of Madana in my heart, alas!

O Moon! (she sang) that art so pure and pale,
Is Krishna wan like thee with lonely waiting?
O lamp of love! art thou the lover's friend,
And wilt not bring him, my long pain abating?
O fruitless moon! thou dost increase my pain
O faithless Krishna! I have striven in vain.
And then, lost in her fancies sad, she moaned--
