  1. Verse 1

    (Refrain) sundari! sambaru kuṭila kaṭākha - kalasī ko mīna, baḍaśī ab ḍārasi? e ati kaṭhina vipāka!

    (Refrain) sundari! sambaru kutila katakha - kalasi ko mina, badasi ab darasi? e ati kathina vipaka!

    (Rएfरैन्) सुन्दरि! सम्बरु कुटिल कटाख कलसी को मीन, बडशी अब डारसि? ए अति कठिन विपाक!

    Just as a fish in a river may be so terrified of a Makara (sea-monster) that it jumps out of the river into a shore coast, similarly the fish of My mind is so terrified of Cupid (who rides on a Makara-vehicle) that it shivers and leaves the river of Your necklace to jump into Your heart.

  2. Verse 1

    mana matha makara ḍarahi ḍara kātara majhu mānasa jhaṣa kāṁpa tuyā hiyā hāra taṭinī taṭe kuca ghaṭe, uchali paḍolo dei jhāṁpa

    mana matha makara darahi dara katara majhu manasa jhasa kampa tuya hiya hara tatini tate kuca ghate, uchali padolo dei jhampa

    मन मथ मकर डरहि डर कातर मझु मानस झष कांप तुया हिया हार तटिनी तटे कुच घटे, उछलि पडोलो देइ झांप

    Just as a fish in a river may be so terrified of a Makara (sea-monster) that it jumps out of the river into a shore coast, similarly the fish of My mind is so terrified of Cupid (who rides on a Makara-vehicle) that it shivers and leaves the river of Your necklace to jump into Your heart.

  3. Verse 2

    puna dei jhāṁp, poḍolo yab ākula, nābhi sarovara māha tahi romāvalī - bhujagī saṅga bhaye, trivalī veṇī avagāho

    puna dei jhamp, podolo yab akula, nabhi sarovara maha tahi romavali - bhujagi sanga bhaye, trivali veni avagaho

    पुन देइ झांप्, पोडोलो यब आकुल, नाभि सरोवर माह तहि रोमावली भुजगी सङ्ग भये, त्रिवली वेणी अवगाहो

    Again he jumps, in great agitation, elsewhere - in the lake of Your navel. But there he is afraid of the company of the snake-like hairs that dwell there, so he flees again into the lake of Your three-lined belly, that resembles the Triveni (the confluence of the Yamuna, Ganga and Sarasvati).

  4. Verse 3

    tāhi phirato - koto kotohi manoratha, daivako gati nāhi jāna kiṅkiṇī jāle poḍolo yab saṁśaya, govinda dāsa rasa gāna

    tahi phirato - koto kotohi manoratha, daivako gati nahi jana kinkini jale podolo yab samsaya, govinda dasa rasa gana

    ताहि फिरतो कोतो कोतोहि मनोरथ, दैवको गति नाहि जान किङ्किणी जाले पोडोलो यब संशय, गोविन्द दास रस गान

    "Here he wanders around agitated by so many desires. Alas! Here the fisherman Cupid has extended his net to catch him, in the form of Her waist bells. Govinda dasa doubts whether he can be saved!
