1. The breeze whispered his burning passions,
Spreading secrets of love once concealed,

2. Telling tales of the fair maidens of Rama,
Renewing loves that time had worn away,

3. To the sad and lonesome, tormented with yearning,
In the love of radiant beauties, delighting,

4. Hoping she might show him some favor,
After so long being spurned and rejected,

5. "O you, whose luring gaze arrows me,
With eyebrows like a noon, lips like wine!"

6. Happy is he who rests in your presence,
You, the fulfillment of all desires!

7. If he strays down the crooked path of your glances,
Your straight tresses will rightly guide him.

8. My heart glimpsed your blazing cheek,
And was scorched, as God willed it so.
