Original · Devanagari

हरेहरे चंद्रिका किरीट उभे सीस सोहें हरेहरे मानक गरेमाल परे हैं। हरीहरी सारी जरतारी त्यौं किनारी लाल लालहूँ बसन तन हरेहरे धरे हैं॥ हरेहरे रंग उघरे हैं गोरे स्याम पिले हेरि रसरंगमनी सो महामोद पूरे हैं। हरेहरे कूलनमें लसें हसें हरेहरे झूलें सरजुतरंगनसों भले मोदमूले हैं॥ १० ॥

Fresh English translation

Green jeweled crowns shine upon both heads, and green necklaces of gems lie at their throats. Sia’s sari is green and edged in gold; even the Beloved, once clothed in red, has put green garments on his body. Fresh green color opens upon the fair Lady and dark Lord as they embrace; seeing it, Rasarangmani is filled with supreme delight. They gleam and smile upon the green banks, swinging in harmony with Sarayu’s waves, rooted in bliss.
