राग केदारौ तुव जस कोटि ब्रह्मांड विराजै राधे । श्री सोभा वरनी न जाय अगाधे। बहुतक जनम विचारत ही गये साधे साधे। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्याम कहत री प्यारी ए दिन मैं क्रम क्रम करि लाधे ।।

rāga kedārau tuva jasa koṭi brahmāṃḍa virājai rādhe | śrī sobhā varanī na jāya agādhe| bahutaka janama vicārata hī gaye sādhe sādhe| śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāma kahata rī pyārī e dina maiṃ krama krama kari lādhe ||

English translation

Your fame is glorious in thousands of universes, oh Rādhā; Your beauty and splendour cannot be described; they are unfathomable; Many lives have passed only in reflecting [on them], showing constant devotion; Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā Kuñjabihārī says: Oh beloved, I have obtained these days gradually.

राग केदारौ फूलीं सब सखी देखि देखि। जच्छ किन्नर नागलोक देव स्त्रीं रीझि रहीं भुव लेखि लेखि ।। कहत परस्पर नारि नारि सौं यह सुन्दर्यता अवरेखि रेखि । श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा ए कैसे हूँ चितयैं परेखि रेखि।।

rāga kedārau phūlīṃ saba sakhī dekhi dekhi| jaccha kinnara nāgaloka deva strīṃ rījhi rahīṃ bhuva lekhi lekhi || kahata paraspara nāri nāri sauṃ yaha sundaryatā avarekhi rekhi | śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāmā e kaise hū~ citayaiṃ parekhi rekhi||

English translation

Watching and watching, all the sakhīs forgot [themselves]; Ladies of the worlds of yaksas, kinnaras and nagas, and goddesses, remained enchanted, looking at the earth again and again; The women say to each other: ‘Consider this beauty to be the limit. However they look at Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā, it is with constant scrutiny.

राग केदारौ पिय सौं तू जोई जोई करै सोई छाजै। और सेंघ करै जो तेरी सोई लाजै ।। तू सुर ज्ञान सब अंग सखी री मान करत बेकाजै । श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्याम जिय में बसै तू नित नित विराजै ॥

rāga kedārau piya sauṃ tū joī joī karai soī chājai| aura seṃgha karai jo terī soī lājai || tū sura jñāna saba aṃga sakhī rī māna karata bekājai | śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāma jiya meṃ basai tū nita nita virājai ||

English translation

Whatever you do with your beloved, it pleases. Whoever [tries] to equal you is put to shame. You are very knowledgeable in every limb, oh friend, sulking is in vain. Oh Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā, you dwell in [Kṛṣṇa’s] heart and always rule [there].

राग केदारौ सोई तो वचन मोसौं मानि तैं मेरी लाल मोह्यौ री साँवरौ । नव निकुंज सुख पुंज महल में सुबस बसौ यह गाँवरौ ॥ नव नव लाड़ लड़ाइ लाड़िली नहिं नहिं यह ब्रज जाँवरौ । श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा ए कुंजबिहारी पै वारौंगी मालती भाँवरौ ॥

rāga kedārau soī to vacana mosauṃ māni taiṃ merī lāla mohyau rī sā~varau | nava nikuṃja sukha puṃja mahala meṃ subasa basau yaha gā~varau || nava nava lār̤a lar̤āi lār̤ilī nahiṃ nahiṃ yaha braja jā~varau | śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāmā e kuṃjabihārī pai vārauṃgī mālatī bhā~varau ||

English translation

Accept these words of mine, you have charmed my dark beloved, oh friend. This uncunning one unconstrainedly settled in a new bower, a palace of great happiness; Caressing his darling with ever new affection, he never, never goes to Braj. I sacrifice myself to Haridās's sovereigns Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī, a white jasmine and a black bee.

राग केदारौ जो कछु कहत लाडिलौ लाड़िली जू सुनियै कान दै । जो जिय उपजै सो तिहारेई हित की कहत हौं आन दै ॥ मोहिं न पत्याहु तौ छाती टकटोरि देखौ पान दै । श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी जाचक कौं दान दै ॥

rāga kedārau jo kachu kahata lāḍilau lār̤ilī jū suniyai kāna dai | jo jiya upajai so tihāreī hita kī kahata hauṃ āna dai || mohiṃ na patyāhu tau chātī ṭakaṭori dekhau pāna dai | śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāmā kuṃjabihārī jācaka kauṃ dāna dai ||

English translation

Oh dear one, listen well to whatever your beloved says. Whatever arises in the heart is for your sake (alone), say this on oath. If you do not believe me, feel [his] heart with your hand and see; Oh Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā, give an offering to the beggar Kuñjabihārī.

राग केदारौ प्यारी जू आगे चलि आगे चलि गहवर वन भीतर जहाँ बोलै कोइल री । अति ही विचित्र फूल पत्रनि की सेज्या रची रुचिर सँवारी तहाँ तूब सोइल री ॥ छिन छिन पल पल तेरीऐ कहानी तुव मग जोइल री । श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्याम कहत छबीलौ काम रस भोइल री ॥

English translation

Oh dear one, go farther, go farther into the dense forest, where the cuckoo sings, oh friend. A beautiful bed of very wondrous flowers and leaves has been made and decorated, now lie down on it, oh friend. At each moment, at every instant [he] speaks of you alone, waiting for you, oh friend. Oh Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā, [I] am telling [you], the handsome one is immersed in the essence of desire, oh friend.

राग केदारौ प्यारी अब सोइ गई । ज्यौं ज्यौं जगावत त्यौं त्यौं नहिं जागत प्रेम रस पान करि भोइ गई ।। जागत होइ तौं जगाऊँ प्यारी तातेंब परम सचु रस ही रसिक रस बोइ गई । श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा उठिकैं गरैं लगाई नवल प्रीति सौं नोइ गई ।।

rāga kedārau pyārī aba soi gaī | jyauṃ jyauṃ jagāvata tyauṃ tyauṃ nahiṃ jāgata prema rasa pāna kari bhoi gaī || jāgata hoi tauṃ jagāū~ pyārī tāteṃba parama sacu rasa hī rasika rasa boi gaī | śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāmā uṭhikaiṃ garaiṃ lagāī navala prīti sauṃ noi gaī ||

English translation

The beloved has gone to sleep now; The more I waken her, the more she does not wake; she has become immersed while speaking words [full of] love and pleasure. If she were conscious, I would waken her. Through her now the connoisseur [has obtained] the supreme bliss of pure rasa; she has sown rasa. Haridās's sovereigns are Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī; she rose and embraced him and submitted to new love.

राग केदारौ डोल झूलत दुलहिनी दूलहु । उड़त अबीर कुमकुमा छिरकत खेल परस्पर सूलहु ॥ बाजत ताल रबाब और बहु तरनि तनया कूलहु । श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी कौ अनतब नाहिंने फूलहु ।।

English translation

The bride and groom are swinging on a swing; Red dye flies, they sprinkle saffron, united they play together; Cymbals, rabab and many other [instruments] resound on the bank of the Yamunā; There is no joy anywhere else for Haridās's sovereigns Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī.

राग केदारौ प्यारी पहिरें चूनरी । तैसौई लहँगा बन्यौ सिलसिलौ पूरनमासी की सी पूनरी ।। हौं जु कहति चलिये मनमोहन मानैंगी नहिं घूनरी । श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी चरन लपटाने दुहूँन री ।।

English translation

The beloved is wearing a shawl; Such is her shiny well-arranged skirt that she looks like the full moon on a full moon night. What I say is: come, oh Manamohana, the sullen one will not assent. Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā Kuñjabihārī embraced [Śyāmā's] feet, oh friend.

राग केदारौ बनी री तेरे चारि चारि चूरी करनि । कंठसिरी दुलरी हीरनि की नासा मुक्ता ढरनि ।। तैसौई नैननि कजरा फबि रह्यौ निरखि काम डरनि । श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी रीझि रीझि पग परनि ॥

English translation

Oh friend, you are adorned with four bracelets on each arm, a golden necklace, two strings of diamonds, a pearl dangling from [your] nose. Collyrium enhances the beauty of [your] eyes so that seeing them the god of love [himself] is afraid. Enchanted by Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā, her beloved Kuñjabihārī falls at her feet.
