The Song Of Life:39. Withdrawn Be When The Senses Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Withdrawn be when the senses frail
From faggots of fire that assail,
The relish still for them remains
When from desires the man abstains;
Ceases this relish too from him,
Were he to see the Supreme! || 2.59 ||

Here is the transliteration with the meanings of Sanskrit words:

viśhayā vinivartante nir-āhārasya dehinah |
rasa-varjam rasah api asya param draśhţvā nivartate ||

viśhayā: objects of sense enjoyment, cravings
vinivartante: are turned away, restrained from
nir-āhārasya: by non-feeding, by restrictions, when starved
dehinah: onewith a body, embodied one
rasa-varjam: ongiving up the taste (for desires)
rasah: the taste, sense of enjoyment
api: also
asya: his, of him
param: the superior, the supreme
draśhţvā:upon seeing
nivartate: disappears, turns away, ceases from

Somewhat verbatim interpretation gives this translation:

The cravings subside, if not for good,
Awhile, if starved as if of food,
The relish too should fore'er rest,
Were he to sight the Soul Highest.
