Valmiki Ramayana Ayodhya Kanda Sarga 66 Shloka 24

महात्मना by the great, राज्ञा king, हीना deprived, अयोध्यापुरी city of Ayodhya, चन्द्रविहीना devoid of moon, निशेव night, भर्तृविवर्जिता forsaken by husband, स्त्रीव like woman, नाराजत did not shine.

Like night without the Moon, like a woman forsaken by her husband, this city of Ayodhya without that magnanimous king has lost its earlier splendour.
