राग विभास दुहुँनि की सहज बिसाँति दोऊ मिलि सतरंज खेलत। उर रुख नैन चपल अस्व चतुर बराबरि झेलत।। आतुरता फील पयादे निग्रह फरजी चौंप अनूपम पेलत। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी सह साह राखें खेलत।।

rāga vibhāsa duhu~ni kī sahaja bisā~ti doū mili sataraṃja khelata| ura rukha naina capala asva catura barābari jhelata|| āturatā phīla payāde nigraha pharajī cauṃpa anūpama pelata| śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāmā kuṃjabihārī saha sāha rākheṃ khelata||

English translation

Both have a natural chess-board, the two are playing chess together; Breasts for bishops, darting eyes for clever knights, [she] moves them forward in competition; Impatience is the castle, restraint - the pawns, desire - the queen, impelled matchlessly; Haridās's sovereigns Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī play together, keeping the king.

राग विभास होड परी मोरनि अरु स्यामहिं। आवहु मिलहु मध्य सचु की गति लैहिं रंग धौं कामहिं॥ हमारे तुम्हारे मध्यस्थ राधे और जाहि बदौ बूझि देखौ तृन दै कहा है यामहिं। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी कौ चौपरि कौ सौ खेल इकगुन दुगुन त्रिगुन चतुरागुन री जाके नामहिं॥

rāga vibhāsa hoḍa parī morani aru syāmahiṃ| āvahu milahu madhya sacu kī gati laihiṃ raṃga dhauṃ kāmahiṃ|| hamāre tumhāre madhyastha rādhe aura jāhi badau būjhi dekhau tṛna dai kahā hai yāmahiṃ| śrīharidāsa ke svāmī kau caupari kau sau khela ikaguna duguna triguna caturāguna rī jāke nāmahiṃ||

English translation

A contest occurred between the peacocks and Śyāmā; Come, join in, take the step of bliss, the dance indeed of Kāma. There are mediators between you and me, Rādhā, invoke whomever else [you choose] as a witness, enquire and find out what is in this, I adjure you. Haridās's sovereign’s play is like the game of caupara: one-, two-, three-, fourfold, oh friend, whichever [tempo] is named.

राग विभास कहौ यह काकी बेटी कहाधौं कुँवरि कौ नाँउ । तुम सब रहौ री हौं ही उतर दैहौं चले किनि जाहु ढोटा बाइ बावरौ गाँउ।। सब सखी मिलि छिरका खेलन लागीं तोलौं तुम रहो री जोलौं हौं न्हॉंउ। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी लै बुड़की गरैं लागि चौंकि परी कहाँ हौं जाँउ॥

English translation

Tell me whose daughter this is, tell me then, what is the name of this young maid? You all be quiet, oh friends, I myself will give him an answer. Go, why don’t you go, you boastful boy, to [your] crazy village; All the sakhīs started to play a sprinkling game together. Friends, stay while I bathe. Haridās's sovereigns are Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī, he plunged into the water and embraced her, startled she [cried], ‘Where can I go?’

राग विभास एक समै एकांत वन में डोल झूलत श्रीकुंजबिहारी। झोंटा देत परस्पर सब मिलि अबीर उड़ावत डारी॥ कबहुँक वे उनके वे उनके हौं दुदुँनि की एक सारी। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी बाढ़्यौ रंग भारी।।

rāga vibhāsa eka samai ekāṃta vana meṃ ḍola jhūlata śrīkuṃjabihārī| jhoṃṭā deta paraspara saba mili abīra ur̤āvata ḍārī|| kabahu~ka ve unake ve unake hauṃ dudu~ni kī eka sārī| śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāmā kuṃjabihārī bār̤hyau raṃga bhārī||

English translation

Once in a solitary wood Kuñjabihārī was swinging; Pushing the swing, all together were throwing red powder at one another; Sometimes he [follows] her, sometimes she [follows] him, I am the one follower of both; The great excitement of Haridās's sovereigns Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī grew.

राग विभास कुंज कुंज डोलनि मूदु बोलनि टूटी लर छूटी पोति अति छबि लागति। भँवर गुंजार करत संग डोलत मानौं मेरु रागिनी के संग लीयें रागति।। जूथ अनेक सुघर जुवतिन के, तुम्हरी रीझि पलब नहिं लागति। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी पर तन मन धन न्यौछावर करौं कागति॥

rāga vibhāsa kuṃja kuṃja ḍolani mūdu bolani ṭūṭī lara chūṭī poti ati chabi lāgati| bha~vara guṃjāra karata saṃga ḍolata mānauṃ meru rāginī ke saṃga līyeṃ rāgati|| jūtha aneka sughara juvatina ke, tumharī rījhi palaba nahiṃ lāgati| śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāmā kuṃjabihārī para tana mana dhana nyauchāvara karauṃ kāgati||

English translation

You look very beautiful wandering from bower to bower, speaking softly, with necklace broken and beads scattered; The humming of the bees moves with you, it is as if a multitude of melodies accompany you and sing; Groups of many beautiful women stay awake [for] your pleasure; I am sacrificing my body, mind and wealth to Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā Kuñjabihāriṇī. What [other] refuge is there?

राग बिलावल प्रिया पिय के उठिवे की छबि वरनी न जाइ सब तें न्यारे। मानौं द्यौस रैनि इक ठौरे सोये न भये न्यारे॥ बार लटपटे मानों भॅंवर जूथ लरत परस्पर कमल दलनि पर खंजरीट सोभा न्यारे। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी पर कोटि कोटि अनंग कोटि ब्रह्मांड वारि किये न्यारे।।

English translation

The beauty of the rising of the beloved and the darling cannot be described, they are unique; As though day and night in one place they neither slept nor separated; Their hair in disarray like swarms of bees fighting each other; the beauty of the wagtails on the lotus-petals is extraordinary; Having detached [myself from] myriads of cupids and myriads of universes, I sacrifice them to Haridās's sovereigns Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī.

राग बिलावल स्यामा स्याम आवत कुंजमहल तें रगमगे रगमगे। मगरजी वनमाल सिथिल कटि किंकिनी अरुन नैन चारों जाम जगे॥। सब सखीं सुघराई गावति बीन बजावति सब सुख मिलि संगीत पगे। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी की कटाक्ष सौं कोटि काम दगे।।

English translation

Śyāma and Śyāmā, fervent and fervid, are coming from the grove-palace; With crushed forest-garlands, loose hip-bells, and eyes red from waking all night. All the sakhīs sing with skilfulness and play the vīṇā, engrossed in music with all joy. Myriads of cupids are burnt by the sidelong glances of Haridās's sovereigns Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī.

राग मलार हिंडोरेंब झूलत लाल दिन दूलहु दुलहिनि बिहारिनि देखौ री ललना। गौर स्याम छबि अति दुति बहु भाँति री बलना॥ नीलांबर पीतांबर अंचल चलत धुजा फरहराति कलना। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी बिहारिनि अविचलना।।

English translation

Now the bridegroom Lāla and the bride Bihāriṇī are constantly swinging on a swing; look oh sakhīs. The beauty of the fair and dark is extremely resplendent. [I am making] various offerings [to them]. The borders of [their] blue mantle and yellow sash are moving [like] banners fluttering without rest. The play of Haridās's sovereigns Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī never falters.

राग मलार ऐसी रितु सदा सर्वदा जो रहै बोलत मोरनि। नीके बादर नीके धनुष चहुँ दिसि नीकौ श्रीवृन्दावन आछी नीकी मेघनि की घोरनि॥ आछी नीकी भूमि हरी हरी आछी नीकी बूढ़नि की रेंगनि काम किरोरनि। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा के मिलि गावत राग मलार जम्यौ री किसोर किसोरनि॥

English translation

If only such a season could remain forever, with its crying peacocks; There are fine clouds and fine rainbows all around, fine is Vṛndāvana, fine and beautiful is the thundering of the clouds; Fine and beautiful is the green green earth, fine and beautiful is the crawling of the red-velvet insects [like] millions of desires; Through Haridās's sovereign’s singing with Śyāmā, rāga Malāra was established by youth and maiden.

राग मलार आये दिन पावस के सचु के सुबोल बोलिये जू मान न करिहों। घरी घरी के रूसने क्यौं बनें ते बोल बोलिये जू मन क्रम वच के।। भयौ है बंधान बहुत जतननि करि बिसरे गुन गस के। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी प्यारी बस के॥

rāga malāra āye dina pāvasa ke sacu ke subola boliye jū māna na karihoṃ| gharī gharī ke rūsane kyauṃ baneṃ te bola boliye jū mana krama vaca ke|| bhayau hai baṃdhāna bahuta jatanani kari bisare guna gasa ke| śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāmā kuṃjabihārī pyārī basa ke||

English translation

The days of rain and of joy have come, make this promise: shall not sulk; How can [anything] be achieved by constant sulking? Make this promise in thought, word and deed. An agreement has been made after many efforts, forget this adverse nature; Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā Kuñjabihārī is under [his] beloved’s power.
