You may even shed tears due to the anguish, but that should be done strictly unobtrusively. Never betray anguish during the Beloved’s absence. just as the roots of the lotus plant in deep water become strong, similarly you should develop fortitude to bear the ever-increasing pains of separation.

Weep in secret, Love's separation's sorrows disclose not,
Let them make you strong like the edges of the lotus plant.

Weep secretly, lt no one know except the beloved is away,
Be strong to endure pain, my heart, like roots of lotus plant.
