राग मलार यह अचरज देख्यौ न सुन्यौ कहूँ नवीन मेघ संग बिजुरी एक रस। तामें मौज उठति अधिक बहु भाँति लस॥ मन के देखिवे कौं और सुख नाहिंने चितवत चितहिं करत बस। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी बिहारिनि जू कौ पवित्र जस॥

rāga malāra yaha acaraja dekhyau na sunyau kahū~ navīna megha saṃga bijurī eka rasa| tāmeṃ mauja uṭhati adhika bahu bhā~ti lasa|| mana ke dekhive kauṃ aura sukha nāhiṃne citavata citahiṃ karata basa| śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāmā kuṃjabihārī bihārini jū kau pavitra jasa||

English translation

Such a wonder has nowhere been seen or heard: lightning constantly together with a new cloud; In it arise many kinds of extreme delight and radiance. There is no other happiness for the mind [but] seeing this. Oh beloved, you bewitch the heart by glancing. The pure glory of Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā Kuñjabihāriṇī!

राग मलार बूँदें सुहावनी री लागति मति भींजै तेरी चूनरी। मोहिं दे उतारि धरि राखौं बगल में तू न री॥ लागि लपटाइ रहैं छाती सौं छातीजो न आवबे तोहिं बौछार की फूनरी। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्याम कहत बिजुरी कौंधे करि हाँ हूँ न री॥

rāga malāra bū~deṃ suhāvanī rī lāgati mati bhīṃjai terī cūnarī| mohiṃ de utāri dhari rākhauṃ bagala meṃ tū na rī|| lāgi lapaṭāi rahaiṃ chātī sauṃ chātījo na āvabe tohiṃ bauchāra kī phūnarī| śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāma kahata bijurī kauṃdhe kari hā~ hū~ na rī||

English translation

The drops look beautiful, dear, let not your shawl be drenched; Take it off and give it to me, I would keep it under my arm, do not say no, oh friend; Come close and remain clinging breast to breast, so that the drops of rain do not reach you; Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā says: lightning flashes, say yes, yes, won’t you, oh friend.

राग मलार भीजन लागे री दोऊ जन। अँचरा की ओट करत दोऊ जन॥ अति उन्मत्त रहत निसि वासर राग ही के रंग रंगे दोऊ जन । श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्याम प्रेम परस्पर नृत्य करत दोऊ जन।।

rāga malāra bhījana lāge rī doū jana| a~carā kī oṭa karata doū jana|| ati unmatta rahata nisi vāsara rāga hī ke raṃga raṃge doū jana | śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāma prema paraspara nṛtya karata doū jana||

English translation

The two of them are getting a soaking, oh friend; The two of them are sheltering under the end [of her sari]; The two of them remain utterly intoxicated day and night, coloured by the colour of love alone. Haridās's sovereigns are Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī, the two of them dance with mutual love.

राग मलार नदित मन मृदंगी रास भूमि सुकांति अभिनय सु नव गति त्रिभंगी। धापि राधा नटति ललिता रसवती नागरी गाइतेग्रि नाभि तान तुंगी।। रसद बिहारी बंदे वल्लभा राधिका निसि दिन रंग रंगी। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी संगीत संगी।।

rāga malāra nadita mana mṛdaṃgī rāsa bhūmi sukāṃti abhinaya su nava gati tribhaṃgī| dhāpi rādhā naṭati lalitā rasavatī nāgarī gāitegri nābhi tāna tuṃgī|| rasada bihārī baṃde vallabhā rādhikā nisi dina raṃga raṃgī| śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāmā kuṃjabihārī saṃgīta saṃgī||

English translation

Their hearts are delighted with the drummers, the dance-ground is lustrous, Tribhaṅgī [demonstrates] gestures and fine new steps; Rādhā dances, satisfied, the prominent, charming and skilful Lalitā sings a high-pitched tune...; Delight-giving Bihārī praises his beloved Rādhikā day and night, coloured by the colour [of love]; Haridās's sovereigns Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī are companions in music.

राग मलार दामिनि कहति मेघ सौं हमारी उपमा देहिं ते झूठे एई मेघ एई बिजुरी साँची। जिन जिन हमारी उपमा दीनी तिन तिन की मति काँची॥ ऐसी कहूँ सुनी जु दूँद तें कन न्यारौता पटतर क्यौं दीजै समुद्र राँची। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी अटल अटल प्रीति माँची॥

English translation

The lightning says to the cloud: those who compare us [to Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa] are wrong. He alone is real cloud, she alone is real lightning. Dim was the wit of those various people who compared us [to them]; Has this ever been heard: how can a particle separated from a drop of water be compared to an ocean of love? Haridās's sovereigns Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī are immersed in eternal, perpetual love.

राग गौड़ नाचत मोरनि संग स्याम मुदित स्यामाहि रिझावत। तैसीयै कोकिला अलापत पपीहा देत सुरतैसेई मेघ गरजि मृदंग बजावत॥ तैसीयै स्याम घटा निसि सी कारी तैसीये दामिनी कौंधि दीप दिखावत । श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी रीझि राधे हँसि कंठ लगावत।।

rāga gaur̤a nācata morani saṃga syāma mudita syāmāhi rijhāvata| taisīyai kokilā alāpata papīhā deta surataiseī megha garaji mṛdaṃga bajāvata|| taisīyai syāma ghaṭā nisi sī kārī taisīye dāminī kauṃdhi dīpa dikhāvata | śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāmā kuṃjabihārī rījhi rādhe ha~si kaṃṭha lagāvata||

English translation

Śyāmā dances with the peacocks and delights the enchanted Śyāmā; Just so the black cuckoo sings a prelude, the pied crested cuckoo accompanies it, just so the thundering of the clouds plays a drum; Just so the dark dense cloud is black like night, just so the lightning flash displays a lamp; Haridās's sovereigns are Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī; delighted, Rādhā smiled and embraced him.

राग गौड़ हरि के अंग कौ चंदन लपटानौ तन तेरे देखियत जैसे पीत चोली। मरगजे अभरन वदन छिपावति छिपै न छिपायें मानौं कृष्ण बोली।। कहुँ अंजन कहुँ अलक रही खसि सुरति रंग की पोटैं खोली। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा बिहारिनि मिलत हार न रह्यौ कंठ बिच ओली।।

rāga gaur̤a hari ke aṃga kau caṃdana lapaṭānau tana tere dekhiyata jaise pīta colī| maragaje abharana vadana chipāvati chipai na chipāyeṃ mānauṃ kṛṣṇa bolī|| kahu~ aṃjana kahu~ alaka rahī khasi surati raṃga kī poṭaiṃ kholī| śrīharidāsa ke svāmī syāmā bihārini milata hāra na rahyau kaṃṭha bica olī||

English translation

The sandal paste of Hari's body is stuck to your body, looking like a yellow bodice; [Your] ornaments are crushed, why are you hiding [your] body, despite your efforts it cannot be hidden, it is as if the black cuckoo called; Your collyrium and locks are astray, you have opened the treasury of love-game pleasures; Oh, Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā Bihāriṇī, during union [your] necklace stayed not on your neck, [but fell] into the hem of your garment.

राग बसंत कुच गडुवा जोवन मौर कंचुकी वसन ढॉंपि लै राख्यौ बसंत। गुन मंदिर रूप बगीचा में बैठी है मुख लसंत।। कोटि काम लावण्य बिहारी जाहि देखत सब दुख नसंत। ऐसे रसिक श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी तिनकौं भरन आई मिलि हसंत॥

rāga basaṃta kuca gaḍuvā jovana maura kaṃcukī vasana ḍhaॉṃpi lai rākhyau basaṃta| guna maṃdira rūpa bagīcā meṃ baiṭhī hai mukha lasaṃta|| koṭi kāma lāvaṇya bihārī jāhi dekhata saba dukha nasaṃta| aise rasika śrīharidāsa ke svāmī tinakauṃ bharana āī mili hasaṃta||

English translation

Her breasts are jugs, her youth is blossom, the spring is kept covered by her bodice and garment. A palace of qualities, she is sitting in a garden of beauty, her face shining. Bihārī has the loveliness of myriads of cupids; by seeing him all suffering is destroyed. Such a connoisseur is Haridās's sovereign; she came to embrace him and they united, smiling.

राग वसंत श्रीकुंजबिहारी कौ बसंत सखि चलहु न देखन जाहिं। नव वन नव निकुंज नव पल्लव नव जुवतिन मिलि माहिं॥ वंसी सरस मधुर धुनि सुनियत फूली अंग न माहिं। सुनि हरिदास प्रेम सौं प्रेमहि छिरकत छैल छुवाहिं॥

English translation

Come, won’t you, let us go and see the spring of Kuñjabihārī; Together amidst the young women in the fresh wood and fresh bowers with new shoots; When the mellow sweet melody of the flute is heard, [they] blossomed in [their] bodies; Listen, oh Haridās, the beautiful one sprinkles love lovingly and touches.

राग वसंत चलि री भीर तें न्यारेई खेलैं। कुंज निकुंज मंजु में झेलैं॥ जहाँ पंछी न सहित सखी न संग कोऊ तिहिं वन चलि मिलि केलैं। श्रीहरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा प्रेम परस्पर बूका बंदन मेलैं।।

English translation

Come, oh friend, let us play far apart from the crowd; Let us enter the lovely forest’s thicket bowers, [Where] there are no birds and no sakhī is present, let us go to this forest and play there together; Oh Haridās's sovereign Śyāmā, let us throw powder with mutual love.
