Verse 1
I offer my obeisances to a certain wondrous cuckoo, bewitchingly drawn to the sweetness of the honey rising from the tender, sprout-like lips of Subala, and whose brilliance outshines even gold's own wonder.
Verse 2
Long do I glorify that astonishing bee, eager to drink the juice of the bimba-fruit lips of the foremost of cowherd boys, who wears a peacock-feather crest and a garment of yellow silk.
Verse 3
O hero of the cowherd settlement, do not vainly take pride thinking, "the moon has been defeated by my own glory" — for the flood of tears from the eyes of your rival's women has already, by its own force, overwhelmed even that moon's radiance.
Verse 4
In grove after grove, surrounded on all sides by flowing throngs of cowherd women, may Krishna freely conduct the very reign of the flower-bowed god of love. This alone is my prayer, O friend: will that thief who has stolen my heart ever release my bound mind, or will he simply go on and rob me of my very life as well?
