English translation
Now in the springtime let us play truly apart [from the others], let us play without meeting anybody else, dear, I swear by you; No happiness is obtained when one is in two minds, do not meet any sakhī, swear by me; You will see the enjoyment which will arise from mutual exchange of rāgas and rāgiṇīs; Haridās's sovereigns are Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī [who says]: delight dwells in the rāgas, swear [by you], dear.

English translation
Stop, stop, Bihārī ju, you are throwing powder in my eyes, what a screen this is for seeing the face; You want to meet another love of yours under this pretext, I am touching your feet with a firm vow. The happiness which arises while singing and playing [with you] is of infinite excellence for the body; Where can one find such happiness for the heart as the happiness of meeting and playing with Haridās's sovereign?

English translation
Perfumed after bathing, wearing a garment, the beautiful one sits drying her hair in the garden; Her beautiful fingernails glitter like stars in fresh cloud while she is doing her soft hair; Taking various ornaments [she] stands before her dear sakhī; there was [such] a mass of charm [that] the army of Kāma [was] trembling; Haridās's sovereigns are Śyāmā and Kuñjabihārī, seeing [her] beauty, the eyelids do not close.

Come, oh friend, let us meet Kuñjabihārī, and look attentively at his beloved; [See how] the beautiful woman plays with the handsome man, and indeed how she sings; Unexpectedly the sakhī came there, [Rādhā] was letting her beloved massage her feet; She was lying together with Haridās's sovereign, Śyāmā, and sporting with mind and body.

English translation
The lover of Rādhā, Kuñjabihārī, is celebrating Holi, all the young women are saying hohohori; They are colouring each other, nobody is aware of anyone, smiling the Enchanter and the Fair lady captivate hearts; Now hand joined with hand, now waist turning with waist, they are dancing, one’s desire is small; Haridās's sovereign and Śyāmā wander quite apart, avoiding the gaze of all the sakhīs, and search out a sheltered place.

English translation
In a new bower-abode, in the presence of the young one, rāga Gaurī was established on a new vīṇā; The lover’s glance was fixed on her swift fingernails which bestow happiness like ten moons raining nectar; Pleased and delighted the lover gives [her] his decorations, his garments and the garland on his chest, he puts his tongue between his teeth on seeing her lion-waist; [Śyāmā], the giver of delight to Haridās, and Bihārī embrace, the god of love rises, they sport with vigour.
