Beauty, I Am Tormented !



Thy beauty is responsible,
Naught thou art.
I found thy beauty
more seductive.

Thy beauty urged my eyes
to wake in the morn.
They only quenched
their unabated thirsts.

O, beauty I beseech thee
not to dazzle
the eyes of others
as I claim thee only for me.

I compared thy beauty
with early sky red-tinted glow.
Even I found thy beauty more
as it was hardly found in reality.

O, beauty I am tormented,
neither I can enjoy thee nor refuse
lest thou will be exploited
or thy glory will reduce.
