With hearty expectation and affection,
With hearty expectation and affection,
You had smiled in the mirror of my mind.
You had smiled in mirror of my mind.


I was looking within the material world
I was looking in the material world
To find bliss through objects inert.
To find bliss through objects inert.
Not once did I gaze at Your face;
Not once did I gaze at Your face;
I did not see that You'd returned.
I did not see that You returned.


Mad was I, with my own self obsessed,
Mad was I, with my own self obsessed,
Just liking to think of personal interest.
Liking to think only of personal interest.
I did not consider Your resolute aim,
I did not consider Your resolute aim,
The very quintessence of Your existence.
That You were its very quintessence.
