job koru kheli ali saiya bala

heralu pathe janu canda ki mala

aparupa rupa nayane majhu lagi

anukhan madhuri maramahi jagi

vihasi rahali dhani gima morai

so mukha jhalamala niramala jyoti

lolita nasika vesara moti

rangima jad vitharalo pith

cakitahi majhu mana lagalo dith

aiche sukesini ham nahi pekhi

cita murati hiye rahalahi lekhi

pada-nakha anguli yavaka sobha

dasa cand aruna bahu lobha

so pada kamala hrdaya kori seva

govinda dasa yaba anumati debo

Translation

Verse 1

O friend, whatever I was doing, playing about, I stopped, for on the path I saw what seemed to be a garland of moons; his matchless beauty struck my very eyes, and its sweetness awakens again and again within my heart.

Verse 2

O friend, O friend, seeing me, that lady simply stood there smiling in wonder; her face glimmered with a spotless light, its restless nose graced by a pearl ornament.

Verse 3

When her colorful hair spread loose across her back, my mind was startled, my gaze caught at once; never have I seen a woman so beautifully tressed — her very image remains etched now upon my heart.

Verse 4

The beauty of the lac-dye upon her toenails and toes, her ten toes red as the rising moon, awakens such longing; when will I be granted permission to serve those very lotus feet in my heart? — thus prays Govinda Dasa.
