॥ कवित्त ॥ मेघ घहरायो घनज्योति ठहरायो बकपाँति बहरायो मोरपंख फहरायो है। बारि बरसायो इन्द्रचाप दरसायो चातकन तरसायो सीराम सरसायो है॥ चहुँदुर बुलायो उरझालिन फुलायो सियागमको भुलायो मदकामको भुलायो है। भूमिहरि छायो रसरंगमनी गायो मनभावनको भायो आयो सावन सुहायो है॥ १ ॥

The clouds thunder; lightning settles among them. Ranks of cranes spread out and peacocks fan their plumes. Rain pours down, a rainbow appears, the rain-birds thirst, and Sita and Rama are steeped in delight. It calls from every quarter and makes entangled hearts blossom; it makes one forget both Sia’s coming and the proud god of desire. Green covers the earth. Rasarangmani sings: the lovely monsoon has arrived, pleasing to the heart’s Beloved.
