virah me sati ke vyaakul vythit ho
chale bhole shankar na jaane kaha
madhur kalpna ko hirday se hatate
chale bhole shankar na jaane kaha
bilakhta hai nandi, bilakhta hai shringi
bilakhta hai vyaakul vishdhar vichaarah
kaha ja rahe ho hume chhod swaami
humara nahi koi duja sahara
kaise jiyenge tumhaare bina hum
chale bhole shankar na jaane kaha

na sudh budh hai tan me, na hai chain man me
anjaan path pe badhe ja rahe hai
priya ke viyug me ho baawra sa
kathin dukh ke aansu peeye rahe hai
girte sambhalte badhaate hue pag
chale bhole shankar na jaane kaha

hai tadpat rahe shiv sati bina
haay virah me tan man sheen hue
vikraal samay ki aandhi me
shiv shankar priy vihin hue
anatr ki dhadhakti jwala ko
vo raag ke rang me ghol diye
anuraag ke bandhan tode annat
samadhi me dhiv leen hue

In grief's embrace, Sati's loss a wound,
Shiva, distraught, departed, where unbound.
Sweet visions shattered, from His heart erased,
Lord Shiva journeyed, where no path was traced.

Nandi weeps, and Shrungi's lament rings,
The serpent sorrows, as the viper stings.
"Where wanderest Thou, O Master, leaving us?
Alone we are, our only refuge lost thus!"
How shall we live, bereft of Thy grace?
Lord Shiva traveled, to an unknown space.

No care for body, nor peace within the mind,
On paths unknown, He left the world behind.
In separation's madness, love's despair,
Tears of anguish, a burden He must bear.
Stumbling, rising, with each faltering stride,
Lord Shiva moved on, where His heart did hide.

He yearns for Sati, without her, He's pained,
In grief's embrace, His body, spirit drained.
In time's dark tempest, a tragic plight,
Shiva, bereft of His beloved light.
The inner fire, a burning, fierce embrace,
He mixed with colors, finding love's space.
Bonds of devotion, broken and unbound,
In Samadhi's depths, Lord Shiva was found.
