Original · Devanagari
मैं बारी बना रतनारे नैन पर वारी। श्याम सुजान लाल दशरथ के सुन्दर अवध बिहारी॥ कंज खंज मृग मीन वारियत जुलफें भँवर अतिकारी। नासामनि की हलनि अधर पर युगलप्रिया बलिहारी॥

I give myself to the bridegroom's jewel-red eyes. He is accomplished, dark, Dasharatha's lovely son and Ayodhya's player. Lotus, wagtail, deer and fish are all sacrificed to those eyes, while his curls are commanding bees. Yugalapriya gives herself to the nose jewel swaying over his lips.
