गढ़वाली कविताओं म प्रेम -1

विरह वसंत विलाप

(कवि- चन्द्र मोहन रतूड़ी, 1906)

- सुन प्रिया ! परतीत करी ज तू

जब बिटी बिछड्यूं तब से मन कु

न दिन चैन छ रात न निंद मी

दुःख क देन बस्तु सुख की सभी।

जब आकाश खिल्युं नक्षेत्रुं से

न मिल्दो कखि आइक नेत्रुं से

वराह हा! मरिजा तू कि मार मै

इन समौ पर जो तू जळौन्दु मैं

बण कि पाणि कि धाणि कि रुम्कि दौं

सबहि मैक दुन्या बणिगै अहो

निरवधी जब को छ वियोग यो

O! My love! Listen from the day, I am separated from you neither I am happy in day nor I get sleep in the night.

The objectives those provide happiness provide me sorrow too.

The sky is full of marvelous stars but for me there is nobody to see.

Oh! Disunion! Either you die or may I die.

Oh! Disunion! Why are you burning me /providing pain to me in this charming/beautiful/attractive season.

I am looking /waiting unnecessarily for my love on the path of forest, the path of water source, path of work place.

The waiting, for my love for so long, created acute sadness, grief; sorrow; unhappiness; misery; depression; wretchedness; melancholy; gloom; in my life.
