Who, a maiden, alone, in the Yamuna does bathe?
In the Yamuna does bathe?
Who, a maiden, alone, in the Yamuna does bathe?
In the Yamuna does bathe?

Intoxicated, wild, waves of love's sway,
Intoxicated, wild, waves of love's sway,
Embrace her form, again and again, in the Yamuna does bathe.

The dark water kisses her skin, again and again,
Like a bee kissing the blossom's embrace.
The dark water kisses her skin, again and again,
Like a bee kissing the blossom's embrace.
The kohl's dark thread kisses the eye's edge,
Shame-filled, she bows low, in the Yamuna does bathe.
Who, a maiden, alone, in the Yamuna does bathe?
In the Yamuna does bathe?

From her dark tresses, water flows,
Seeing the moon-faced one, darkness weeps.
From her dark tresses, water flows,
Seeing the moon-faced one, darkness weeps.
