Gita Govinda 1.7.28

1.7.28

ramayati subhṛśaṃ kam api sudṛśaṃ khala-haladhara-sodare |
kim aphalam avasaṃ ciram iha virasaṃ vada sakhi viṭapodare ||

And vain! yes, vain!
For me too is it, having so much striven,
To see this slight snare take thee, and thy soul
Which should have climbed to mine, and shared my heaven,
Spent on a lower loveliness, whose whole
Passion of claim were but a parody
Of that kept here for thee.

Ahaha! vain!
For on some isle of Jumna's silver stream
He gives all that they ask to those hard eyes,
While mine which are his angel's, mine which gleam
With light that might have led him to the skies--
That almost led him--are eclipsed with tears
Wailing my fruitless prayers.
