The Hundred Verses of Amaru 1.96

1.96

virahaviṣamaḥ kāmo vāmastanuṃ kurute tanuṃ
divasagaṇanād akṣaścāsau vyapetaghṛṇo yamaḥ |
tvamapi vaśago mānavyādhervicintaya nātha he
kiśalayamṛdurjīved evaṃ kathaṃ pramadājanaḥ ||64||(67)

Cruel love, adverse through separation, makes her body slender;
and this pitiless Yama is adept at counting the days.
You too are subject to the malady of amorous petulance; consider, O lord,
how women, tender as fresh shoots, could live like this! ||64||(67)
