1.8.5

caraṇa-kamala-galad-alaktaka-siktam idaṃ tava hṛdayam udāram |
darsayatīva bahir madana-druma-nava-kiśalaya-parivāram ||

For dar'st thou feign the saffron on thy bosom
Was not implanted in disloyal embrace?
Or that this many-coloured love-tree blossom
Shone not, but yesternight, above her face?
Comest thou here, so late, to be forgiven,
O thou, in whose eyes Truth was made to live?
O thou, so worthy else of grace and heaven?
O thou, so nearly won? Ere I forgive,

Edwin Arnold 1875, The Indian Song of Songs
