2.66.11

śūnyo 'yaṃ śayanīyas te paryaṅko hemabhūṣitaḥ
na cāyam ikṣvākujanaḥ prahṛṣṭaḥ pratibhāti me

Unoccupied I now behold
This couch of thine adorned with gold,
And each of King Ikshváku's race
Appears with dark and gloomy face.
The king is aye, my mother dear,
Most constant in his visits here.
To meet my sire I sought this spot:
How is it that I find him not?
I long to clasp my father's feet:
Say where he lingers, I entreat.
Perchance the monarch may be seen
Where dwells Kaus'alyá, eldest queen.'

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1870, The Rámáyan of Válmíki, translated into English verse
