उद्यानानि पुरा भान्ति मत्तप्रमुदितानि च। जनानां रतिसंयोगेष्वत्यन्तगुणवन्ति च॥ तान्येतान्यद्य पश्यामि निरानन्दानि सर्वशः। स्रस्तपर्णैरनुपथं विक्रोशद्भिरिव दुमैः॥
udyānāni purā bhānti mattapramuditāni ca| janānāṃ ratisaṃyogeṣvatyantaguṇavanti ca|| tānyetānyadya paśyāmi nirānandāni sarvaśaḥ| srastaparṇairanupathaṃ vikrośadbhiriva dumaiḥ||
English Meaning
Gardens which, frequented by people inebriated with the honey of love, met together for purposes of sport, looked charmingly blooming, I find as utterly void of cheerfulness, with the trees as if lamenting with tremulous leaves.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
