SB 11.30.43
apaśyatas tvac-caraṇāmbujaṁ prabho
dṛṣṭiḥ praṇaṣṭā tamasi praviṣṭā
diśo na jāne na labhe ca śāntiṁ
yathā niśāyām uḍupe praṇaṣṭe
dṛṣṭiḥ praṇaṣṭā tamasi praviṣṭā
diśo na jāne na labhe ca śāntiṁ
yathā niśāyām uḍupe praṇaṣṭe
Word for word:
apaśyataḥ — of me, who am not seeing; tvat — Your; caraṇa-ambujam — lotus feet; prabho — O master; dṛṣṭiḥ — the power of vision; praṇaṣṭā — is destroyed; tamasi — into darkness; praviṣṭā — having entered; diśaḥ — the directions; na jāne — I do not know; na labhe — I cannot obtain; ca — and; śāntim — peace; yathā — just as; niśāyām — in the night; uḍupe — when the moon; praṇaṣṭe — has become new.
Translation:
Dāruka said: Just as on a moonless night people are merged into darkness and cannot find their way, now that I have lost sight of Your lotus feet, my Lord, I have lost my vision and am wandering blindly in darkness. I cannot tell my direction, nor can I find any peace.
