रामलला रस होरी खेलें। श्रीमिथिलेशसुता गुन आगरि नागरि संग सकेलें॥ रतन जड़ित पिचकारी श्याम कर सिय सरीर रंग मेलें। प्यारी कुंकुम अबिर पिया तन श्याम कपोलन मेलें॥ कनकभवन सुखसिंधु महल बिच कौतुक कहे रंग रेलें। युगलप्रिया बीना मृदंग धुनि सुनियत पड़ति पेलें॥
Fresh English translation
Ramalala plays the Holi of rasa, gathering the accomplished daughter of Mithila's lord and her graceful companions. With a jewel-set syringe the dark Lord colours Siya's body; Pyari smears saffron and abir upon her lover's dark form and cheeks. Who can tell the wonders and rushing colour within the golden palace, ocean of joy? To the sound of Yugalapriya's vina and mridanga they press against one another in play.
