Chain Nahim Man Mein Na Maleen - Taj Begam

Chain Nahim Man Mein Na Maleen - Taj Begam

(Sawiya)
Chain Nahim Man Mein Na Malina, Sunaina Pare Jala Mem Na Tai Hai. [1]
Taj Kahai Parayanka Yo Bal, Jyon Chapaki Maal Vilay Gai Hai. [2]
Neku Vihaya Na Rain Kachu Yah, Jan Bhayanak Bhari Bhai Hai. [3]
Bhaun Mem Bhanu Saman Sudipak, Agan Mem Mano Aagi Dai Hai. [4]

- Taj Begam (Taj Bibi)

Tāj Bībī describes that in this painful state of separation from Śrī Kṛṣṇa, neither does the mind find any rest, nor do these tear-filled eyes find peace without shedding tears. [1]

Lying unconscious upon the bed, Her body appears as though a necklace adorning a maiden’s neck has broken and scattered itself there. [2]

In the anguish of separation, each passing moment becomes unbearable, and the night feels long and filled with suffering. [3]

Even the beautiful lamps burning within the house, shining like the sun, seem only to intensify the fire of separation, further pouring ghee upon the flames of the afflicted heart. [4]
