Original · Devanagari
राजत श्यामा श्याम सुजान। सरजू तीर निकुंज भवन में राम सिया रस खान॥ आलस भरे उनींदे लोचन निरखत अति सुखदान। रुचि सों भैरो राग अलापत ले ले सुन्दर तान॥ चन्द्रकला सखि अलक संवारहिं लखें मंद सुमुसकान। रसिक जनन के जीवन दोऊ युगलप्रिया के प्रान॥
Fresh English translation
The accomplished dark Lord and his dark-haired Lady shine in the bower-house on Sarayu's bank—Rama and Siya, a mine of rasa. Their half-sleeping eyes, still full of languor, bestow immense joy. With delight they unfold Bhairava in beautiful melodic phrases. Chandrakala arranges their curls and sees their gentle smiles. The two are the life of rasika people and Yugalapriya's very breath.
