Dekho Sakhi Jhulata Yugala Kisora

dekho sakhi jhulata yugala kisora nilamani jadaola kascana jora lalita visakha sakhi jhulayata sukhe anande magana heri donhe donha mukhe

Behold, O friend, the youthful divine couple swinging together -- a sapphire set in gold, a matchless pair! Lalita and Vishakha happily swing them, both immersed in bliss as they gaze upon each other's faces.

garajata gagane saghane ghana ghora rangini sangini gherata cauttara vividha kusume sabe raciya hindola dolaya yugala sakhi anande vibhola

Dense, dark clouds thunder in the sky; the playful companions gather round the swing on every side. Having fashioned the swing with all manner of flowers, the sakhis, lost in bliss, rock the divine couple back and forth.

jhulaota sakhigana karatali diya suvadani kohe pache giraye bandhuya vigalita dukula udita sveda bindu amiya jharaye yeno duhun mukha indu

The sakhis swing them, clapping their hands; the sweet-faced Radha says, "Be careful, my beloved, lest you fall!" Their garments slip loose, beads of sweat appear -- and it seems as though nectar streams down from their two moon-like faces.

heri sab sakhigana donhakara srama camara vijana lei koroye sevana bhramara kokila sab bosi taru dale rati jaya radha-krsna radha krsna bole kohe jagannatha kobe hobe subha dine sakhi sahe donhakare heribo vipine

Seeing the fatigue of the divine couple, all the sakhis take up camara fans to serve them; the bees and cuckoos, perched on the branches of the trees, call out "Radha-Krishna, Radha-Krishna" as the night passes. Jagannatha Dasa says: when will that blessed day come when I, together with the sakhis, will behold the two of them in the forest?
