Translation

Verse 1

Taking golden jasmine flowers, the fair one carefully fashions an image, shaping it with great care.

Verse 2

Feeling your very presence in it, she embraces it — but so intense is her longing that this body of flowers burns to ashes from the heat within her.

Verse 3

Listen, listen, O daughter of King Vrishabhanu — Murari himself burns in the very fire of separation from you.

Verse 4

His limbs, like clusters of dark blue lotus petals, cannot be seen through the constant waves of tears from his eyes.

Verse 5

His flute lies fallen, cast far aside; every moment he is consumed, filled utterly with the burning fire of desire.

Verse 6

His peacock-feathered crown lies scattered and undone; meeting with his companions, his very life ebbs away.

Verse 7

His life remains now only in the hope of your love; at your feet, so speaks Govinda Dasa.
