sakhī rī mere mana abhilāṣā hoya madana mohana ke guṇa gāū
śiśa pe mora mukuṭa sohe, pagana paijaniyā mana mohe
kamara pitāmbara jhilamila hoya na mukha se varṇana kara pāū
kānana me kuṇḍala hai ālā, gale me vaijantī mālā
adhara muralī pyārī lāge moya, sunū to mana me sukha pāū
ye laṭa mukha pe kālī-kālī cāla mohana kī matavālī
yahā jāye se darśana hoya batādo gela kahā jāū
ye naṭavara rāsa bihārī ke sańga vṛṣabhānu dulārī ke
saphala mero jīvana kaise hoya yugala caraṇana me sira nāū
TRANSLATION
Refrain: O sakhi, my heart’s desire is to sing the glories of Madana-mohana
1) The peacock feather in His crown is very beautiful. His jingling anklebells are enchanting my mind. His waist is adorned with yellow cloth, the beauty of which, I simply cannot describe.
2) Hearing about the earrings in His ears the garland of vaijayanti flowers around His neck and the beloved flute at His lips my heart will obtain great happiness.
3) Locks of black hair dangle upon His face. As if intoxicated, He moves in an enchanting fashion. Tell me friend, where can I go to receive His darsana?
4) That best of dancers is in the company of the daughter of King Vrsabhanu. Bowing my head at the feet of the Divine couple, my life will be completely successful.
