For some background about this 16th c. CE mystic and poet, see this earlier post. In the first line, ‘Hari’ refers to Lord Krishna.
When Radha’s eyes bashfully meet Hari’s,
their delightful gestures
entice His heart.
Her enchanting banter swindles His mind.
Her words divulge an exquisite disposition.
She puts Her lips to His,
filling that Abode of elixir
with the nectar of Her very soul.
Although Krishna is an expert in all of love’s spells,
Radha captivates God
with a few soft syllables.
Translation Shyamdas
