English Translation
या I who, त्वाम् you, न पश्यामि I do not see, त्वया by you, हीना deprived, सङ्गमने in reuniting, निराशा no hope, कृशा shrunk, विवर्णा pale, मया by me, चरितः followed, अयम् this, धर्मः righteousness, मोघः हि is in vain, तथा likewise, इदम् this, एकपन्तीत्वम् devotion to you alone, निरर्थम् meaningless.
English Commentary
"This righteousnes practised by me is in vain like my devotion to you, as I am unable to see you. I am a separated, emaciated, pale with no hope of reuniting with you.
