Aha Ki Dekhi Go Badai

aha ki dekhi go bada-i kadambera tale tadita jadita yaiche naba jaladhare

Aha! What did I see under a kadamba tree? It was like a new raincloud embraced by lightning.

syamacandera upare dhabala candera kala tahara upare sobhe timirera mala

It was like a glistening white full moon above a dark new moon. Above those two moons glistened a garland of darkness.

tahara upare kiba indradhanu saje emana adbhuta rupa keba dekhiyache

Above that garland was a rainbow. What was that wonderful form I saw?

indradhanu jiniya se bhuru dhanu-chata gobinda-dasera mana kare latapata

The effulgent archer's bows of that form's eyebrows defeated the rainbow. That form enchanted Govinda dasa's heart.
