सीतावियोगे रामविलापः
Rama’s Lament in Separation from Sita
सा नूनमार्या मम राक्षसेन बलाद्दृता खं समुपेत्य भीरुः।अपस्वरं सस्वरविप्रलापा भयेन विक्रन्दितवत्यभीक्ष्णम्।।।।
sā nūnam āryā mama rākṣasena balād dhṛtā khaṃ samupetya bhīruḥ |
apasvaraṃ sasvaravipralāpā bhayena vikranditavaty abhīkṣṇam ||
لا ريب أن سيدتي النبيلة—وهي رقيقة القلب—قد قبض عليها راكشاسا قسرًا وحملها إلى السماء؛ ومن شدة الخوف لا بد أنها كانت تصرخ مرارًا وتندب بصوت عالٍ، وصوتها يتقطع.
O Lakshmana, all this sorrow calmed down when I came to this solitary forest. But with Sita's separation, it was rekindled just as fire blazes forth again with logs of wood.
