Original · Devanagari

सजि सुमन शृंगार, दोउ सोहैं भरे प्यार—छाई शोभा की बहार फुलबँगला में। दोउ गर भुज डार, देखैं दृगपट टार—प्रेमीजन बलिहार फुलबँगला में॥ मन्द मुसकैं निहार, करें हिया आरपार—रसवर्षैं अपार फुलबँगला में॥ झाँकी झाँकी मजेदार, गावैं गुणी यंत्रधार—होत सुमन न्योछार फुलबँगला में॥ धन्य स्वामिनि हमार, धन्य राधो सरकार—‘मोद’ माचैं जयजयकार फुलबँगला में॥

Fresh English translation

Arrayed in flower ornaments, the two shine, filled with love—a burst of beauty fills the flower pavilion. Each lays an arm around the other’s neck; lifting the veil from their eyes, they gaze. Lovers offer themselves within the flower pavilion. They look on with gentle smiles and pierce the heart through and through, raining boundless rasa within the flower pavilion. What a delightful tableau! Accomplished musicians sing and play; flowers are offered in the flower pavilion. Blessed is our Lady, blessed the sovereign Rādho—‘Mod’ raises cries of victory throughout the flower pavilion.
