I know all about the Enchanter's heart.
     His glance has merged my heart with Him.

Ever since the day
I saw the captivating and beautiful,
     moon-like face of that eminent Shyam
          in the love-bower,
     my eyes have abandoned all caution
          and family concerns.

Now I wander His forest glade.
     What can I do?
          He has captured me.

I am stuck to that mine of nectar.
     My loving vow is to His advantage.
