The translation::

O.lotus eyed,Why this inconstancy regarding me?You are not answering my call{p}
******
I have always been wanting to be your friend,{I have} loved, {and}I have come herin the mean time{ap}
******
in spite of my search, I am unable to find a more graceful,elegant, aesthetic person, who is equal to you.
Your righteousness,elegance,your beauty,your cleverness,your grace,your disposition,have made me
desire you,exceedingly.I am crying out in complaint.{c1}
******

Just as the cakOra bird longs for the enemy of the lotus,{the moon} I have trusted you,
With a desire to take shelter under you, though I have sent my friends again and again,
to sincerely convey my distress in your ears, you have not nurtured me{c2}

******
