I checked at the banks of the Yamuna River, O dear, and I saw Krsna. If I say anything, He’ll break my clay pot. Oh dear sakhi, each time I try to plead and pray to Him, He will not be willing to listen.

- Verse 2
chup gayo phir ek kāna sunāke kahāṅ gayo ek bāna calāke gokula ḍhunḍhā maine mathurā ḍhunḍhī koī nagariyā nā choḍī re
chup gayo phir ek kana sunake kahan gayo ek bana calake gokula dhundha maine mathura dhundhi koi nagariya na chodi re
छुप गयो फिर एक कान सुनाके कहाङ गयो एक बान चलाके गोकुल ढुन्ढा मैने मथुरा ढुन्ढी कोई नगरिया ना छोडी रे
Remain quiet and listen to Kana (a nickname of Krsna). Where did the archer who carries to bow go? I go to Goluka and search, as well as in Mathura. Which town did He go, which their fellow citizens would not Him go?
