মই অনন্যভাৱে আপোনাতেই স্থিৰ; মোৰ চিত্ত আপোনাৰ প্ৰতি অনুৰক্ত। আপোনাৰ পৰা বিচ্ছিন্ন হ’লে মই মৃত্যুকেই স্থিৰ সিদ্ধান্ত কৰি লৈছোঁ। দয়া কৰি মোক লগত লৈ যাওক, মোৰ যাচনা গ্ৰহণ কৰক—মোৰ বাবে আপোনাৰ ওপৰত কোনো ভাৰ নপৰে।
Since I have no thought other than you and my heart is (irretrievably) attached to youI have resolved to die if separated from you. Pray, be favourably disposed to take me. I shall not be a burden to you.
