Translation

On the full-moon night of Phālguna month, the moon of Lord Gaura arose in the sky of Śacī's lap. Around that moon in the four directions the stars of the devotees shone.

pāpa ghora andhakāra sarbatra chila bistāra bidhūdaye prasthāna karila jībera bhāgya kumuda hari śaśī mano-mada premānande hāsite lāgila
Translation

When that moon rose the horrible all-pervading darkness of sin was chased far away. Seeing that moon, the lotus flowers of the people's good fortune smiled with ecstatic love. Their hearts became wild with bliss.

pāpa amā-niśi bhora hariṣe bhakta-cakora tulila ānanda kolāhala prema-kaumudīra sudhā pīye dūra kaila kṣudhā sabā-i ha-ila su-śītala
Translation

The cakora birds of the devotees, long distraught over the moonless night of sins, now let out a blissful clamor. Drinking the nectar moonlight, those birds felt their hunger flee far away. Everyone became filled with cooling bliss.

se prema-sudhāra kaṇā pāÑā tṛpta sarba-jana jība-kula bhela ānandita āpana karama doṣe na pā-iyā naba leśe prema-dāsa dhūlāya luṇṭhita
Translation

Drinking that nectar moonlight of spiritual love, the living entities became filled with bliss. Because of his past misdeeds, Prema dāsa did not drink even a single ray of that nectar moonlight. That is why he now rolls about in the dust.
