āju go-dhūli samaya śubha-kṣaṇa, gaura guṇa maṇi bhubana mohana, beśa biracita bibaha bihita, su-mṛdula tanu chabi chala kāya. koṭi manamatha garaba bhaṇjana, kaṇja-diṭhi jana-hṛdaya-raṇjana, cāhi diśa cahu, hāsi lahu lahu, caḍata cauḍala jhalakāya.
Translation

Now at dusk, at the time when returning cows raise dust with their hooves, at an auspicious moment, Lord Gaura, who has the jewels of all virtues, who charms the worlds, whose form is graceful. delicate, and effulgent, and who is dressed in glorious garments, is married. His handsomeness breaks the pride of millions of Kāmadevas. His lotus glances delight the peoples' hearts. Gently, gently smiling, He glances in the different directions. His effulgence fills the four directions with light.

calata ballabha bhabana bhūsura, beḍi gati ati manda su-madhura, bandī-gana, bhuri maṅgala-bhaṇa, bhubana-bharu jaya jaya dhwani. naṭata naṭa-gaṇa ughaṭi thaitata, thoṅga thoṅgina gāna rata kata, biraci rucira caritra sura sāña, sarasa rasa baraṣata guṇī.
Translation

Accompanied by a host of saintly brahmanas, with graceful stately strides He walks to Vallabha Acārya's home. The poets speak auspicious words. The worlds are filled with sounds of “Jaya! Jaya!" The dancers dance. "Thaitata! Thoṅga! Thoṅgina!", their dancing footsteps sing. How many dances do they dance? They are graceful and glorious. They shower nectar.

bādya kata kata bhānti bāyata, bādya pāṭha abhaṅga bhāyata, sughara bādaka-bṛnda, bādya-samudra mathi janu santare. gagane sura-gaṇa magana atiśaya, saghane animikha nayane nirakhaya, bipula pulaka alakṣa kṣiti utarata, ki kautuka antare.
Translation

How many musical instruments sound how many glorious melodies? The musicians gracefully play together. The musicians seem to churn the great ocean of sweet music. They swim in that ocean. Gathering in the sky, the demigods watch with unblinking eyes. The hairs of their bodies stand erect. Unseen, they descend to the earth. What joy is in their hearts!

nārī puruṣa asaṅkhya dhāyata, prasara patha nirupama suhāyata, dīpa śata śata ujora yāminī nātha kara parakāśa-i. dharaṇī adhika uchāhe praphullita, jāhnabī jala-bhela uchalita, dāsa narahari karaba kiye, paśu pākhī saba sukhe bhāsa-i.
Translation

Countless men and women run on the streets. Their happiness has no equal. Hundreds and hundreds of lamps glisten. The moon, the master of the night, brilliantly shines. The whole world blossoms with bliss. The Ganga overflows. What shall Narahari dāsa say? Even the birds and beasts float in an ocean of bliss.
