उद्यानानि हि सायाह्ने क्रीडित्वोपरतैर्नरैः।

तान्यद्यानुरुदन्तीव परित्यक्तानि कामिभिः॥

उद्यानानि हि सायाह्ने क्रीडित्वोपरतैर्नरैः।
समन्ताद्विप्रधावद्भिः प्रकाशन्ते ममान्यदा।
तान्यद्यानुरुदन्तीव परित्यक्तानि कामिभिः॥

I have noticed that previously all over [Ayodhyā], men would sport in the gardens after the evening had passed and then early the next morning cease their sports and rush [back to their homes]. Today those gardens seem to be lamenting, having been given up by the passionate.
