Ami To Swananda

(1)

ami to’ swananda-sukhada-basi

radhika-madhava-carana-dasi

(2)

dunhara milane ananda kori

dunhara viyoge duhkhete mari

(3)

sakhi-sthali nahi heri nayane

dekhile saibyake paraye mane

(4)

je-je pratikula candrara sakhi

prane duhkha pai tahare dekhi’

(5)

radhika-kusja andhara kori’

loite cahe se radhara hari

(6)

sri-radha-govinda-milana-sukha

pratikula-jana na heri mukha

(7)

radha-pratikula jateka jana-

sambhasane kabhu na hoy mana

bhakativinoda sri-radha-carane

sanpeche parana ativa jatane

(1) I am a resident of Svananda-sukhada-kunja and a maidservant of the lotus feet of Radhika and Madhava.

(2) At the union of the Divine Couple I rejoice, and in Their separation I die in anguish.

(3) I never look at the place where Candravali and her friends stay. Whenever I see such a place it reminds me of Candravali’s gopi friend,Saibya.

(4) I feel pain in my heart when I catch sight of Candravali’s girl-friends, for they are opposed to Radha.

(5) Candravali wants to take away Radha’s Lord Hari, thus covering the grove of Radhika with the darkness of gloom.

(6) I never look at the faces of those who are opposed to Sri Radha and Govindas joyous union.

(7) Nor do I find any pleasure in conversing with those who are opposed to Radha.

(8) Bhaktivinoda has enthusiastically entrusted his soul to the lotus feet of Srimati Radharani.
