Original · Devanagari

चले दोउ कुंज सरजू तर को सखिन संग अलसाने दिये गलबाहों। बिधुरित अलकावली मुखारविंद शोभित सुखमा सनेह रसिकन दृगकंज मंद प्रफुलित जनु युगलभानु प्रगटे बनमाहीं॥ छये तस्करादि जेते रसिक भाव दुखित रहे सूझ्यो तैहि हृदैबारि रासध्यान नाहीं। युगलप्रिया रसिकन के हृदय बारि रासध्यान बैठक सजि पुलकत आनन्द रोम रोम अनु जाहीं॥

Fresh English translation

Arm in arm, drowsy with love, the Pair walks with companions toward the bower beside Sarayu. Loose curls adorn their lotus faces; affection's beauty gently opens the lotus eyes of rasikas, as if twin suns had risen in the grove. Whatever thieves and afflictions had troubled rasika feeling disappear; the heart discovers the water in which rasa-meditation abides. Yugalapriya prepares the seat of rasa-meditation within the rasikas' hearts, where every hair thrills with joy.
