1. हे मेरी बहिन, हे मेरी दुल्हिन, मैं अपनी बारी में आया हूं, मैं ने अपना गन्धरस और बलसान चुन लिया; मैं ने मधु समेत छत्ता खा लिया, मैं ने दूध और दाखमधु भी लिया।। हे मित्रों, तुम भी खाओ, हे प्यारों, पियो, मनमाना पियो!
1. I HAVE come into my garden, my sister, my [promised] bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my balsam and spice [from your sweet words I have gathered the richest perfumes and spices]. I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends [feast on, O revelers of the palace; you can never make my lover disloyal to me]! Drink, yes, drink abundantly of love, O precious one [for now I know you are mine, irrevocably mine! With his confident words still thrilling her heart, through the lattice she saw her shepherd turn away and disappear into the night]. [John 16:33.]
