Verse 1

saye kiba se-i nayana cahani

hasira holole more parana-putali dole

dite ca-i yaubana nichani

bhale se candana canda kamini mohana phanda

andhare kariyache ala

meghera upara kiba sada-i udaya kare

nisi disi sasi sola-kala

aparupa bamsi baja-ite

hera-ite se-i mukha mane haya yata sukha

jite ki pariye pasarite

kula sila yata chila mane lage saba gela

dekhiya bareka se-i rupa

gobinda-dasera cite aichana magaye go

naba anuragera swarupa

Translation

Verse 1

Ah, what a glance from those eyes! With just a flash of his smile, the very doll of my life trembles, as though I would offer up my youth entirely at his feet.

Verse 2

Truly he is like sandalwood and the moon, an enchanting snare for women's hearts; he has brought light into the darkness, as if, above a dark cloud, the full moon with all its sixteen digits were forever rising, night after night, in every direction.

Verse 3

What splendor is his crest! His ten nails gleam like curved crescent moons, and his flute plays with matchless wonder. Beholding that face, whatever joy fills my heart, how, while I live, could I ever forget it?

Verse 4

Whatever family honor and modesty I once held dear, all of it is gone, having seen that beauty even once. Thus, in Govinda dasa's heart, this is what is longed for: the very embodiment of ever-fresh love.
