Dekhri Dekh Navkunj · देखरी देख नवकुंज
MEANING
देखरी देख नवकुंज घन सघन तर ठाडे गिरिवरधरन रंग भीने। मुकुट सिर लाल कटि काछिनी बेनु कर राधिका संग भुज अंस दीने ॥१॥Look, friend, look — Girivardhar is standing beneath the thick, dense new bower, drenched in loving beauty. A crown is upon His head, a red waistcloth is tied at His waist, a flute is in His hand, and with Radha beside Him He has placed His arm upon her shoulder. ॥१॥मकरकुंडल सवन झलक अंग पर रही मानों चंदन जु तन खोर कीने ॥ निरखि गोविन्द छबि सघन नंदनंदकी बारि तनमन दोउ प्रेम भीने ॥२॥The radiance of His makara-shaped earrings flashes at His ears and falls upon His limbs, as though sandalwood paste had been spread upon His body. Beholding the deep beauty of Nanda’s son, Govind says: I am offered up — both body and mind are soaked in love. ॥२॥
