132 BENGALI LANGUAGE & LITERATURE. [ Chap, Parting. 2. *Such love was never seen or heard of. Moments to them are years. In each others’ arms, they yet feel the pangs of the apparaching separation. With the edge of his cloth he fans her, and if she turns her head a little, he trembles with fear apprehending a parting. When the meeting comes to an end, my soul, as it were, leaves my body. My heart breaks to relate to you, O maidens, the pangs of parting. I quite believe you, says ‘Chandidas.” 3. Tt’ May I go, now,’ he speaks this thrice. O how many kisses and embraces with these words ! He proceeds half a step and looks back to gaze at me. He looks at my face in such anguish as | cannot describe. He places his hands in mine and asks me to swear by himself. O how he flatters me to get the promise of another meeting! His love is so deep and his prayers are so earnest, says Chandidas, let him remain in ‘the heart for ever.”

নিমিখে মানয়ে যুগ কোরে হুর মানি ॥ সমূখে রাখিয়া করে বসনের বা। মুখ ফিরাইলে তার ভয়ে কাপে শা! ॥ রজনী প্রভাত হৈলে কাতর হিয়ায় | দেহ ছাড়ি যেন মোর প্রাণ চলি যায় ॥ সে কথা কহিতে সই বিদরে পরাণ । Beary Bez af HA AAG I 13. আমি ঘাই আমি ঘাই বলে তিন বোল। TS Al PAA CHE কত দেই কোল॥ পদ আধ যায় পিয়। চায় পালটিয়৷। ধয়ান নিরখে কত কাতর হইয়। ॥
