Verse 1

vāsa-veśa-alaṅkāra, kuntala alakā āra

niśā-raṅge saba viparyanta

sakhīra iṅgite kare, e dāsī niyuktā hare

yathāyatha karite vinyanta

Verse 2

pīta-vastra kṛṣṇe diba, nīla sāḍī khule laba

tomāreta parāva yatane

tuyā mukha mucchāiyā, siṅtāya sindhura diyā

dekhāiba śrī-nanda-nandane

Verse 3

tuyā vakṣe nakha-cina, pucchiyā kariba hīna

tad-upari candana carcciba

se samaye kṛṣṇa-sukha, āḍe dekhe pāba sukha

kṛṣṇa-kare vāṁśi tuli diba

Verse 4

gṛhe yātrā abhimukhe, dujane calibe sukhe

nānā kathā kautuka taraṅga

pathite viccheda habe, tuhu laye yāba tabe

saba sakhī tuyā gṛhe raṅge

Translation

Verse 1

All Their clothes and ornaments, as well as Their locks of hair and other decorations, are all in disarray due to Their nocturnal pastimes. When a sakhī indicates, this maidservant will be engaged in properly arranging everything.

Verse 2

I will give yellow garments to Kṛṣṇa, and I will take away Your blue sāḍī and dress You with care. After cleaning Your face, and applying sindhura on the partition of Your hair, I will present You to the Son of Nanda Mahārāja.

Verse 3

There is a nail mark on Your breast, and I will rub it so that the bruise is reduced and will apply sandalwood paste to it. At that time Kṛṣṇa feels blissful, and seeing that from the corner of my eye I will also become happy. Then I will give the flute in Kṛṣṇa’s hand.

Verse 4

While travelling home, both leave in a happy mood, amidst waves of various words and jokes. Along the way there will be feelings of separation. Then I will take You away, and all the sakhīs will joyfully go to Your home.
