English translation
Words were casually spoken. Now it is hard on Bihārī. No life [remained] in his body. He was agitated: What is my beloved saying? Having seen the state of [her] darling there was turmoil in [her] heart, oh friend; Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā embraced [Bihārī] and [they] remained gazing at [each other’s] faces.

English translation
Oh Kuñjabihārī, I sacrifice myself to you, you sing [so] well, [you] produce many rāgas and rāgiṇīs. In the same way the couple is united; seeing the beloved’s face the moon was put to shame; To whom is it not pleasing to see the dance of Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā?

English translation
Once in a solitary wood the two were adorning each other; She looking at his reflection and he at hers, they remained engrossed in each other; They have never before been adorned as elegantly as they are today. All mirrors proved useless; what and which [mirror can show their beauty] today? Haridās's sovereigns Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī, delighting each other, have submitted to love.

English translation
Oh Rādhā, come, Hari is calling, the cuckoo is singing, the birds give voice, a rāga is established; There the peacock dances with tail spread, the clouds sound as drums, counting out the time. [But he has] no liking [for this], I have realized, and for this reason I came having taken up the depth of [his] passion. The words of Haridās's sovereigns Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī are incoherent, they say something but mean something else.

Having come unexpectedly [he] covers [her] eyes with [his] hands, and [she] cries out in alarm; While looking for Śyāmā in the forest Haridās's sovereign found his beloved on the doorstep.

Oh friend, assent, come now, remain together. Behave like this only if you can live without seeing [him]. He is a dark cloud, you are lightning, rain a mass of love and drink the liquor of pleasure. Oh Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā, unite intimately with Kuñjabihārī and experience ecstasy.

Rādhikā, why not go quickly to your beloved, if you want to be the one above all others.

Talking and conversing, [the couple] were immersed in fun and frolic; they looked around, spied a sheltered place and went there. Listen, oh Haridās, the slender golden vine clings to the dark tamāla tree.

Two strings of pearls, one ornament of glass beads, unadorned eyes - my glance, do not fall [on them]!

Overpowered by the charm of Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā, Kuñjabihārī slowly moves up to her.
