chala hansa wa des jahn piya basai chitchor
chalā hansā vā des jahñ piyā basai chitchor
surat suhāgin hai panihārin bharai ThaḌh bin Dor
bahi desvāñ bādar nā umḌai rim-jhim barsai meh
chaubāre meñ baiTh raho nā jā bhījahu nirdeh
bahi desavā nitt purnimā kabhuñ na hoai añdher
ek suraj kai kaban batāvai koTin sūraj uñjer
O my heart! Let us go to that country where dwells the Beloved, the ravisher of my heart!
There Love is filling her pitcher from the well, yet she has no rope wherewith to draw water;
There the clouds do not cover the sky, yet the rain falls down in gentle showers:
O bodiless one! Do not sit on your doorstep; go forth and bathe yourself in that rain!
There it is ever moonlight and never dark; and who speaks of one sun only? That land is illuminate with the rays of a million suns.
