I feel one with the water of the lake where he bathes.
Oh Sakhi, my love crosses death's boundary when I meet him.
My heart melts in the light and merges in the mirror whereby he views his
face.
I move with the air to kiss him when he waves his fan, and wherever he
wanders I enclose him like the sky.

My love, I will keep you hidden in my eyes; I will thread your image like a
gem on my joy and hang it on my bosom.
You have been in my heart ever since I was a child, throughout my youth,
throughout my life, even through all my dreams.
You dwell in my being when I sleep and when I wake.
Know that I am a woman, and bear with me when you find me wanting.
For I have thought and thought and know for certain that all that is left
for me in this world is your love, and if I lose you for a moment I die.
Chandidas says, "Be tender to her who is yours in life and death."

"Fruit to sell, Fruit to sell," cried the woman at the door.
