-You have vanished
+Where are You going,
-and my heart is empty,
+Love of my life, my sweet darling,
-dearest.
+Vacating my heart, oh dearest dear?
-Where have you gone?
-I have decorated
+I've adorned my heartshrine with flowers;
-my inner shrine
+Richly fragrant is that source of ambrosia.
-with floral sprays.
+Do not leave, do not leave;
+Pay heed to my yearning.
-It becomes
+My life capers to the rhythm of Your dance;
-a nectarial sea
+In the pulse of Your tune I've been fused.
-exuding sweet fragrance.
+Don't withdraw, don't withdraw;
+I am Your harmonic chord.{{#tag:ref|''Vratatii'' (ব্রততী) is a clinging vine. And ''sama'' (মম) typically means "resembling". So a literal translation would be: "I am like a clinging vine." However, in the context, another possibility arises. A less common meaning of ''sama'' (as a noun rather than an adjective) is "musical harmony", often the final, accentuated note in a measure. This would lend the earlier word "vratatii" an adjectival quality. Given the earlier musical references, a more figurative and less literal translation here seems appropriate, and that is what has been given. Harmony cannot exist in absence of a dominant tune. Harmony is a melody's clinging vine.|group="nb"}}
-Don't forsake me,
-please;
-hear my earnest plea.
-I have danced in time
-with your cosmic cadence
-and divine melodious harmonies.
-I have been mad with your joy.
-Don't leave me.
-Don't fly away.
-I am like a fragile creeper,
-dependent on your love.
