Sajani Yaite Pekhalu Kana
Song 12
(Refrain) sajani yā-ite pekhalu kāna tabadhari
jaga-bhari bharala kusuma-śara nayane nā heriye āna
(Refrain) O gopi -friend, I saw Krsna. If I attain Him I will have the whole world. He struck me with the flower-arrow of His glance. Now my eyes see none but Him.
ḍhala ḍhala sajala jalada tanu śohana mohana abharaṇa sāja
aruṇa nayana gati bijurī camaka
jiti dagadhala kulabatī-lāja
His form was glorious like a monsoon cloud. He was charming with graceful ornaments. The glance from his reddish eyes defeats lightning. That glance burned this saintly girl's shyness into ashes.
majhu mukha daraśi bihasi tanu
moḍa-i bigalita mohana baṁśa
nā jāniye kona manoratha ākula kiśalaya -dale karu daṁśa
When He saw my face, He smiled. His body trembled, and He dropped His charming flute. He bit a budding twig. What desire filled Him? I do not know.
ataye se majhu mana jwalatahi anukhaṇa dolata capala
parāṇa gobinda-dāsa micha-i āśoyāsa tabahu nā milala kāna
Since that time my heart burns at every moment. My restless life-breath trembles. Govinda dasa says: Your hope is false. Krsna will not meet with you yet.
