| Sthayi | लाग रह्यो मन राधावर से | Laag rahyo man Radhavar se | My mind remains attached to Radha’s beloved. |
| Sthayi | और कहे कछु और उपर से | Aur kahe kachhu aur upar se | One thing is said, while something else is shown outwardly. |
| Antara | दिन रतियाँ अँखियाँ आगे मेरी | Din ratiyaan ankhiyaan aage meri | Day and night, before my eyes, |
| Antara | ठाड़े रहे कछु रूप सुधर से | Thaare rahe kachhu rup sudhar se | that lovely form remains standing. |
| Antara | आनंद घन प्रभु लाए नेहा | Aanand ghan prabhu laaye neha | The Lord, full of bliss, has awakened love. |
| Antara | प्रेम रँगूँगी मैं गिरिधर वर से | Prem rangungi main Giridhar var se | I shall colour myself in love with Giridhar, my beloved. |
Word notes
Radhavar addresses Radha’s beloved, and Giridhar names Krishna as the lifter of the mountain. Din ratiyaan spans day and night; neha is affection or love. Rangungi speaks of colouring oneself in love, making devotion an experience that transforms the speaker.
