Radha is experiencing sweet painful aches <br />Is in amorous mood and is teased by three naughty Lords <br /> <br />Moon, the Lord of the night sky <br />The dear enemy of lovers <br />Is piercingly touching Radha with his pleasant and cooling rays <br />And is making her unable to bear the separation from Madhava <br /> <br />Cupid, the formless Lord of Love who causes <br />Wounds unseen with his flower-arrows <br />Is 'torturing' Radha stirring deep emotions <br />Fanning the flames of intense longing for union with Madhava <br /> <br />Madhava, the Lord of her heart who shares <br />Heart and sweet and delightful conversations with her <br />Has not yet arrived at the meeting place <br />To share her everything <br />While Radha has reached the spot as Abhisarika [1] <br />And is waiting suffering from the pangs of separation and desire <br /> <br />Radha's body and mind are experiencing <br />Sweet painful aches by the naughtiness of the three Lords <br /> <br />She is wondering with intense feeling: <br />'We loved each other by exchanging love-jasmine garlands <br />When will Madhava and the blissful moments arrive <br />And both of us disrobe ourselves and merge in each other' <br /> <br /> <br />Radha and Madhava are eternal lovers of Brindavana on the banks of river <br />Yamuna <br /> <br />[1] The youthful girl is deep love who arrives at the mutually informed and agreed to place on her own for love-making with her beloved. <br /> <br />Telugu Original: 'Challani devula allarilo Radha' <br /> <br />Poem and translation Varanasi Ramabrahmam<br /><br />Varanasi Ramabrahmam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-suffering-of-radha/
