Gahana Birahaka Lagi

gahana birahaka lagi rajani pohaya-i jagi

On account of deep separation, she passes the whole night awake, waiting for it to dawn.

karatahi tohari dheyana to bine akula kana

She does nothing but meditate upon you; without you she is utterly distraught.

sitala pita nicola tohari bharame karu kora

Mistaking the cool yellow shawl for you, she gathers it into her lap and embraces it.

so rasa parasa na pa-i murachita dharani lota-i

Not obtaining the touch of that love, she falls fainting, rolling upon the ground.

manamaha madana-taranga ghana ghana moda-i anga

Within her mind, waves of passion again and again overwhelm her body.

kahatahi gada gada bhasa na bujhala gobinda-dasa

She speaks only in a voice choked with feeling — Govinda Dasa could not fully convey it.
