Original · Devanagari

अलि छवि देखु शरद की यामिनी। बिमल आकाश चन्द्र परिपूरण रासकुंज चलिये गजगामिनि॥ देखी जाय बिपिन अद्भुत मंडल बिभाग मणि भूमि सुनामिनि। नटवर अद्भुत बेष रसिकमणि अद्भुत चन्द्रकलादिक भामिनि॥ अद्भुत अवध रंगमणि महले अद्भुत श्रीसरयू बर कामिनि। नटति परस्पर बाहाँ जोरी अद्भुत युगलप्रिया की स्वामिनि॥

Fresh English translation

Companion, see the beauty of the autumn night. Under the full moon in the clear sky, elephant-gaited Lady, come to the rasa-bower. See the grove's wondrous circles and divisions upon celebrated jewelled ground. The lord of dancers wears a wondrous dress; the jewel of rasikas and Chandrakala's companions are wondrous. Ayodhya's Rangamani palace, Shri Sarayu and the lovely women are wondrous. Arm in arm they dance—above all, Yugalapriya's mistress.
