Inscribe, inscribe beloved's name, O friend,
Inscribe the beloved's name.
Upon this form of Radha, write, write it, evening by evening,
Inscribe, inscribe beloved's name, O friend,
Inscribe the beloved's name.

On hair, write my Krishna, on my brow, the Cupid of the flute,
On my nose, the playful lover, to whom the milkmaids bow their loot.
With the evening's hues, you write,
With the evening's hues, you write, my life's every evening.
Inscribe, inscribe beloved's name, O friend,
Inscribe the beloved's name.

On my parting, write the Gopal, on my cheek, the cloud-bearing one,
On my eyes, the Nand's young boy, on my arms, the forest dweller's sun.
On every cloud of the rainy season,
On every cloud of the rainy season, write the dark-skinned one.
Inscribe, inscribe beloved's name, O friend,
Inscribe the beloved's name.

On my lips, write Hari Govind, on my waist, the Krishna of love's art,
On all my limbs, inscribe the flute player, from the land of heart.
My body and soul now feel,
My body and soul now feel, as if Brindavan's art.
Inscribe, inscribe beloved's name, O friend,
Inscribe the beloved's name.
Upon this form of Radha, write, write it, evening by evening,
Inscribe, inscribe beloved's name, O friend,
Inscribe the beloved's name.
