| Sthayi | डारत केसर पिचकारि | Daarat kesar pichkaari | Spraying saffron water from a water-squirter, |
| Sthayi | सखि मो पै कुंवर कन्हैया | Sakhi mo pai kunvar Kanhaiya | friend, Prince Kanhaiya sprays it on me. |
| Antara | बाट घाट में | Baat ghaat men | On the paths and at the ghats, |
| Antara | रोकत रूंधत | Rokat rundhat | he stops and blocks me. |
| Antara | कहा करूं मोंरि दैया | Kaha karun monri daiya | What shall I do, my dear? |
Word notes
Kesar is saffron, and pichkaari is the tube used to spray coloured water. Kunvar is a title for a young prince. Baat and ghaat place the encounter along paths and at the waterside.
