Last Night My Lord Went Away Seeing Me Asleep Poem by Narsinh Mehta

Last night my lord went away seeing me asleep,
What shall I do now friend, as I could not wake!
He kept his word, but I fell asleep gazing him with adoration!
Last night my lord went away seeing me asleep,
What shall I do now friend, as I could not wake!

Where is Krishna now, dear friend, and will he care for me?
I should go and plead for mercy!
The dark one is considerate; he will surely deign and forgive me;
I should really go and implore!
Last night my lord went away seeing me asleep,
What shall I do now friend, as I could not wake!

'Wake up, girl, and throw off your indolence, for the lord hasn't left yet,
He still waits serenely at the door to test your love!'
'Blessed is Narsaiyya's lord, no doubt today I'll be late to milk the cows!
Last night my lord went away seeing me asleep,
What shall I do now friend, as I could not wake!'
