  1. Verse 1

    mandira bāhira kaṭhina kapāṭa cala-ite śaṅkila paṅkila bāṭa

    mandira bahira kathina kapata cala-ite sankila pankila bata

    मन्दिर बाहिर कठिन कपाट चलैते शङ्किल पङ्किल बाट

    She departs from the house and the locked gate. Frightened, she flees on the muddy pathway.

  2. Verse 2

    taṁhi ati dūratara bādara dola bari ki bāra-i nīla nicola

    tamhi ati duratara badara dola bari ki bara-i nila nicola

    तंहि अति दूरतर बादर दोल बरि कि बारै नील निचोल

    A ferocious rainstorm blows with great winds. How can her black cloak keep out the torrents of rain?

  3. Verse 3

    sundarī kaiche kayabi abhisāra hari raha mānasa suradhunī pāra

    sundari kaiche kayabi abhisara hari raha manasa suradhuni para

    सुन्दरी कैछे कयबि अभिसार हरि रह मानस सुरधुनी पार

    How will this beautiful girl meet with Krsna? He is on the Manasa-ganga's farther shore.

  4. Verse 4

    ghana ghana jhana jhana bajara nipāta śuna-ite śrabaṇe marame jari jā;ta

    ghana ghana jhana jhana bajara nipata suna-ite srabane marame jari ja;ta

    घन घन झन झन बजर निपात शुनैते श्रबणे मरमे जरि जा;त

    "Jhanajhana!" Thunderbolts fall again and again. Hearing the thunder, she feels her ears and heart filled with flames of pain.

  5. Verse 5

    daśa diśa dāminī daha-i bithāra hera-ite ucaka-i locana-bhāra

    dasa disa damini daha-i bithara hera-ite ucaka-i locana-bhara

    दश दिश दामिनी दहै बिथार हेरैते उचकै लोचनभार

    Flames of lightning flash in the ten directions. Watching, she fills her upraised wide-open eyes.

  6. Verse 6

    ithe yadi sundari tejabi geha premaka lāgi upekhabi deha

    ithe yadi sundari tejabi geha premaka lagi upekhabi deha

    इथे यदि सुन्दरि तेजबि गेह प्रेमक लागि उपेखबि देह

    O beautiful girl, if you leave your home for love's sake, then for love's sake you should give up all worry for your own body.

  7. Verse 7

    gobinda-dāsa kaha ithe ki bicāra chūṭala bāṇa kiye yatane nibāra

    gobinda-dasa kaha ithe ki bicara chutala bana kiye yatane nibara

    गोबिन्ददास कह इथे कि बिचार छूटल बाण किये यतने निबार

    Govinda dasa says: How can worry stop her now? When shot from the bow, how can an arrow be stopped?
