(Sawaiya)
Phagun Laagyau Sakhi Jab Tein, Tab Te Brajamandal Dhoom Machyau Hai. [1]
Naari Naveli Bachai Nahi Ek, Bisekh Yehai Sabai Prem Achyau Hai. [2]
Saanj Sakare Vahi Raskhani, Surang Gulal Lai Khel Rachyau Hai. [3]
Ko Sajni Nilaji Na Bhai, Ab Kaun Bhatu Jihi Maan Bachyau Hai. [4]
- Shri Raskhan, Raskhan Ratnavali
O friend, as the month of Phālguna begins, the entire land of Braj overflows with enthusiasm. [1]
Not a single young maiden remains untouched by this thrill of Braj, steeped in the mood of sweet love. [2]
Lord Kṛṣṇa, the ocean of bliss, plays Holī from dawn till dusk with vibrant red powder. [3]
Enveloped in this love‑play, not one sakhī can hold onto her shyness or pride, says Śrī Raskhān. [4]
