When you go away - Bhartrhari
Am in a poetry mood today. This poem by Bhartrhari is dedicated to all friends.
When you go away
'Do not go' I say; but this is inauspicious.
'All right, go' is a loveless thing to say.
'Stay with me' is imperious. 'Do as you wish' suggests Cold
Indifference. And if I say 'I'll die
when you are gone', you might or might not believe me.
Teach me,
my friend, what I ought to say
When you go away.
(Bhartrhari, a poet from 5th-6th century India)
