In meditation, the face of my teacher
does not come to me very clearly,
but your face does, smiling one way,
then smiling another.
Tsangyang Gyatso, the sixth Dalai Lama

ཤི་དེ་དམྱལ་བའི་ཡུལ་གྱི། །
ཆོས་རྒྱལ་ལས་ཀྱི་མེ་ལོང། །
འདི་ན་ཁྲིག་ཁྲིག་མི་འདུག། །
དེ་ནས་ཁྲིག་ཁྲིག་གནང་ཞུ། །
ཚངས་དབྱངས་རྒྱ་མཚོ ༧གོང་ས་མཆོག་སྐུ་ཕྲེང་དྲུག་པ་།
Peacocks from eastern India,
Parrot from the depths of Kongpo,
Though born in separate countries
Finally come together
In the holy land of Lhasa.
Tsangyang Gyatso, the sixth Dalai Lama
Sleepless I am
Because I am in Love;
Fatigue and frustration overwhelm
When day brings not my beloved to me.
Tsangyang Gyatso, the sixth Dalai Lama
My sweetheart who truly loved me
Has been stolen to wed another.
I am sick with longing sorrow
And frustration emaciates my frail body.
Tsangyang Gyatso, the sixth Dalai Lama
