Sundari Taikhane Kahala Mu Toya
Song 41
(Refrain) sundari taikhane kahala mu toya bharamahi
tā sañe leha bāḍhāyali janama goṅāyabi roya
(Refrain) O beautiful girl, the enchantment of your love for Him grew stronger and stronger. In the end you will pass this lifetime only in weeping.
śuna-ite kānu muralī-raba mādhurī śrabaṇe nibāranu tora
hera-ite rūpa nayāna-yuga jhāṁpalu taba mohe rokhali bhora
When you heard the sweetness of Krsna's flute-music, I blocked your ears. When you gazed at Krsna's handsome form, I covered your eyes. You were very determined to be enchanted by Him.
bini guṇa parakhi paraka rūpa
lālase kāhe soṁpali nija deha
dine dine khoyabi iha rūpa-lābaṇī jība-ite bhela sandeha
For no reason you pined to attain Him. What has become of your body? Day after day the beauty of your body wasted away. Now even your life is in doubt.
yo tuhu hṛdaye prema-taru ropali śyāma-jalada-rasa-āśe
so aba nayana nīra ghana siñcaha kahatahim ́ gobinda-dāse
In your heart you planted the tree of love for Him. You expected the dark rain cloud of Krsna would water that tree with its nectar rains. Alas! Now that tree is watered only with the tears from your eyes. This Govinda dasa says.
