The treasury of beauty, virtue, charm, and all good qualities,
The emblem of love, the embodiment of romance, producers of a host of joys,

I constantly though in my mind, 'When shall I find a (suitable) place,
And, having delivered the message of Nandalal, return to Mathura?
Listen, O ladies of Braj!
