| Sthayi | पनघट मुरलिया बाजे सखी | Panaghat muraliya baaje sakhi | Friend, the flute sounds at the waterside. |
| Sthayi | सिमिट जुवति जन ठाड़े निचेतन | Simit juvati jan thaare nichetan | The young women gather close and stand spellbound. |
| Sthayi | पुलकित सब तन मुकुलित नयन | Pulakit sab tan mukulit nayan | Their whole bodies thrill, and their eyes gently close. |
| Antara | राग खमाज सुनाय सुलच्छन | Raag Khamaj sunaay sulachchhan | The graceful raga Khamaj sounds from the flute. |
| Antara | पुलकित सब तन मुकुलित नयन | Pulakit sab tan mukulit nayan | Their whole bodies thrill, and their eyes gently close. |
Word notes
Panaghat is the place where people draw water, and muraliya is an affectionate form of flute. Simit conveys gathering close, while nichetan describes being lost in the sound. Pulakit suggests a bodily thrill, and mukulit compares the closing eyes to buds.
