धनुहिया धारी श्याम हमारे प्रान। डोलत बन प्रमोद बिच सजनी मंद मंद मुसकान॥ शीश जड़ाऊ पाग लसत अति मोती कुंडल कान। जगमग झूमति मनहरत सबन के नासामणि चमकान॥ वक्षस्थल नाभी रोमावलि कटि प्रदेश सुखदान। पीत बसन युत युगल जंघवर जानु पुष्ट परिमान॥ नख अति अमल कमल सा उपमा अरु उपमान। युगलप्रिया सब घटित लली अंग अनत नहीं यह शान॥

The bow-bearing dark Lord is my life; he wanders through Pramodavana smiling gently. A jewelled turban shines on his head, pearl earrings at his ears, and a swaying nose jewel dazzles and steals every mind. Chest, navel, line of hair and waist bestow delight; yellow cloth covers his strong thighs and knees. His nails are pure as lotuses, beyond simile. Yugalapriya says every comparison is exhausted, yet Lali's limbs have no end to their splendour.
