Nr. 27

Calcutta nr. 27

That Idol on whose account my heart became afflicted
At when my heart was languishing,
When I strain in the search of a cure for myself
(I find that) he who is my doctor has become sick himself.

Payne 1898 - 42
Since she, for whose sweet sake my heart afire's become,
Captive herself elsewhere to anguish dire 's become,
Ah! whither shall I look for healing of my pain,
Since she, my leach, herself sick with desire's become?

Thompson 1906 - 42
That fair for whom my heart hath longing vain,
Herself forlorn, some other doth enchain;
Where shall I seek a balm to ease my pain?
Since my physician sick herself is ta'en?
