  1. Verse 1

    (Refrain) iha madhu yāminī māhā kāhe lāgi māna dahane tanu dahi dahi duhu mukha duhu nāhi cāha

    (Refrain) iha madhu yamini maha kahe lagi mana dahane tanu dahi dahi duhu mukha duhu nahi caha

    (Rएfरैन्) इह मधु यामिनी माहा काहे लागि मान दहने तनु दहि दहि दुहु मुख दुहु नाहि चाह

    Here is the best of males, the crown of the playful and wise. And here is a saintly faithful girl. Alas! Destiny does not know the greatness of Your love. You are like a monsoon cloud garlanded with a host of moons.

  2. Verse 1

    uha purukha-bara bidagadha-śekhara e abicala kula-bālā bihi yo nā jānalamadana ghaṭāyala janu jaladhare bidhu-mālā

    uha purukha-bara bidagadha-sekhara e abicala kula-bala bihi yo na janalamadana ghatayala janu jaladhare bidhu-mala

    उह पुरुखबर बिदगधशेखर ए अबिचल कुलबाला बिहि यो ना जानलमदन घटायल जनु जलधरे बिधुमाला

    Here is the best of males, the crown of the playful and wise. And here is a saintly faithful girl. Alas! Destiny does not know the greatness of Your love. You are like a monsoon cloud garlanded with a host of moons.

  3. Verse 2

    cānda udaye kiye kumudinī mudita cāndanī bimukha cakora aichana yāminī kabahu nā pekhiye kiye bidhi mati bhora

    canda udaye kiye kumudini mudita candani bimukha cakora aichana yamini kabahu na pekhiye kiye bidhi mati bhora

    चान्द उदये किये कुमुदिनी मुदित चान्दनी बिमुख चकोर ऐछन यामिनी कबहु ना पेखिये किये बिधि मति भोर

    When the moon rises do the lotus flowers close their petals? When the glistening moonlight shines, do the cakora birds turn their faces from it? How have Your hearts become so bewildered that on a night like this you will not even look at each other?

  4. Verse 3

    duhu tanu paraśa kṣaṇeka paraśahi jaladhare dāminī-mālā aichana kāminī so su-purukha-bara duhuka dulaha naba-bālā

    duhu tanu parasa ksaneka parasahi jaladhare damini-mala aichana kamini so su-purukha-bara duhuka dulaha naba-bala

    दुहु तनु परश क्षणेक परशहि जलधरे दामिनीमाला ऐछन कामिनी सो सुपुरुखबर दुहुक दुलह नबबाला

    You two should touch. For a moment the garland of lightning should touch the dark monsoon cloud. Here is a beautiful girl filled with love inside. And here is the best of charming boys. You two are a glorious teenage couple.

  5. Verse 4

    sahacarī bacana śuniyā duhu haraṣita duhu mukha heri duhu hāsa duhuka anubhaba pūrala manoratha gobinda-dāsa parakāśa

    sahacari bacana suniya duhu harasita duhu mukha heri duhu hasa duhuka anubhaba purala manoratha gobinda-dasa parakasa

    सहचरी बचन शुनिया दुहु हरषित दुहु मुख हेरि दुहु हास दुहुक अनुभब पूरल मनोरथ गोबिन्ददास परकाश

    Hearing the gopi-friend's words, the divine couple became happy. Looking at each other's faces, They smiled. They felt Their every desire was at once fulfilled. Govinda dasa reveals these pastimes.
