Original · Devanagari
लखोरी लखि श्याम सजन संग सिआ॥ अनेक रंगों के सुमनों से बना है बंगला। विचित्र मांगलिक वितानो तना है बंगला। मदनहूँ मुग्ध कर सुगंध सना है बंगला। लाखो त्रिभुवन धनी धनीहिं का बना बंगला। बसा लो यह सुखमा सहेलि बिच हिया॥ दृगनि छाकिके ये छवि जो न्योछार हुए। वे भूभार नराकार ही बेकार हुए। विषय वासना के व्यर्थ वे शिकार हुए। दिव्य दम्पती के जो न आशिकार हुए। ‘मोद’ त्यागि असी विष पिया॥
Fresh English translation
Look, friend—see Sia together with her dark Beloved. The pavilion is made from flowers of many colors. Strange and auspicious canopies are stretched across it. It is steeped in a fragrance that would enchant even the god of love. Behold the pavilion the Lord of the three worlds has made for his Lady. Companion, lodge this beauty within your heart. Those who do not offer themselves to this vision until their eyes are drunk with it are merely burdens on the earth, human forms spent in vain. Fruitlessly they become prey to craving for sense-objects— those who have not become lovers of the divine Couple. ‘Mod,’ to abandon such beauty is to drink poison.
