बाग घन वेली झूलें संगकी सहेली झूलें सरजुतरंगनसों झूलें मोदमूलहीं। दृगनमें झूलें कुंडल सुतोल झूलें अलक कपोल झूलें भूरिभूषणहीं॥ झूलें नीपीठपर झूलें सरी अधर झूलें मुखनीग्रीवापर झूलें मुसक्यान सीताराम। ओहों रसरंगमनी नैननमें झूलहीं॥ ११ ॥

Fresh English translation

In the garden the dense vines swing; the companions beside them swing; they swing with Sarayu’s waves, rooted in delight. Within the eyes swing the well-rounded earrings; curls, cheeks, and abundant ornaments all swing. They swing upon the back and body; lips, face, and neck swing; Sita and Rama’s smiles swing. Those very forms, says Rasarangmani, continue swinging within my eyes.
