O Srimati Radharani, when will You cast Your merciful glance upon me? You are praised and worshiped by the leaders of the great sages, and You remove the distress of the three worlds. Your splendid jubilant face is as beautiful as a lotus flower and You perform pastimes in the groves of Vrindavana. You are the daughter of King Vrsabhanu and You are the companion of Lord Krishna, the Son of the king of Vraja.

O Srimati radharani, when will You cast Your merciful glance upon me? You are standing in a temple under an asoka tree which is decorated with a creeper, and Your delicate reddish feet are as beautiful and splendid as the best blossoming flowers. You are the great abode of opulence, and the touch of Your hand grants complete fearlessness.

O Srimati Radharani, when will You cast Your merciful glance upon me? You have conquered Lord Krishna, the Son of Nanda Maharaja, and You have made Him under Your control by constantly showering Him with the swift arrows of Your sidelong glances, full of amorous playfulness. Those arrows were shot by the bows which are Your bending eyebrows. These eyebrows are full of the auspiciousness and pleasure of cupid.
