Dekh Sakhi Nav · देख सखी नव
MEANING
देख सखी नव छेल छबिलो । लियो मेरो चित चोरी ।Look, sakhi, at this fresh, charming, graceful youth — he has stolen my heart. अरविलो आनत एंडानो ओर आक्रत नैन ही की चोर ।With his tilted, graceful manner and sidelong glance, he steals one away through the very corners of his eyes. शोभा अंग प्रीत रूपमाधुरी शीशदुमालो अति छबि छोर ।The beauty of his limbs, the sweetness of his lovely form, and the dumala upon his head overflow with splendor. कुंदन लोल कपोलन झांई अरुन उदय मानो किरन चहुं ओर ।The glow upon his cheeks shines all around like the spreading rays of the newly risen crimson sun. कहेत न बने देखे वन आवे सदा बसो मन नंदकिशोर ।He cannot be described; once seen, he comes again and again before the mind — may Nandkishor ever dwell in my heart. चत्रभुज प्रभु गिरिधरनलाल पर रीझी डारत त्रणतोर ॥Chaturbhuj says: I am utterly enchanted by प्रभु Giridharanlal, and cast away everything else for him. ॥
