Gaganahi Nimagana Dinamani Kanti

gaganahi nimagana dinamaṇi kānti lakha-i nā pāriye kiye dina rāti

The sun's brilliance has sunk from the sky; one can no longer tell whether it is day or night.

aichana jalada kalaya āndhiyāra niyaḍahi ko-i lakha-i nāhi pāra

Such is the darkness cast by the clouds that no one can make out even a person standing close by.

calu gaja-gāminī hari abhisāra gamana nirańkuśa ārati bithāra

The elephant-gaited one goes forth to meet Hari; her gait unrestrained, her eagerness spread wide.

caudike athira pabana taru dola jaga bhari śīkara-nikara hilola

On every side the restless wind sets the trees swaying; the whole world fills with swirling sheets of spray.

ḍhala-ite gorī nagara pura-bāṭa mandire mandire lāgala kapāṭa

As the fair one moves along the town road, door after door, house after house, has already been shut.

yaba dhani kuñje milala hari pāśa dūrahi dūre rahu gobinda-dāsa

When that woman met Hari in the forest bower, Govinda Dasa remained standing far, far away.
