Kalidasa

Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

On the Wicked

Seven Griefs

Seven griefs are as seven daggers in my heart, —

To see a lake without its lilied bloom,

The moon grow beggared of her radiant part,

Sweet woman's beauty fade towards the tomb,

A noble hug his wealth, a good man gone

Down in the press of miseries, a fair

And vacant face when knowledge is not there,

A base man standing by a monarch's throne.
