E Dhani Mohe Na Karu Aru Chanda
O beautiful girl, play no more tricks with me; I know it -- you have met Shyama, the moon.
You sigh and gaze at the blossoming kadamba; again and again you rest your face on the palm of your hand.
At moments you twist your body into so many postures; your limbs are covered with unbroken gooseflesh, like budding flowers.
Why do you try to hide your feelings? They will not stay hidden; your face tells all the pain of your heart.
With great effort you restrain your restless eyes; in a voice choked with feeling you speak only half words.
On one pretext you move your limbs, on another your eyes seek the path; again and again you come and go in solitude.
Respect for your elders and your shyness have been left far away -- Govinda Dasa says, you have fallen into trouble.
About E Dhani Mohe Na Karu Aru Chanda
A Govinda Dasa Kaviraja pada in the sakhi-vacana mode, where a companion narrates the visible symptoms of Radha's mounting love — restless sighs, trembling limbs, hair standing on end, half-spoken words — an inventory close to the sattvika-bhavas that rasa-shastra catalogues as involuntary bodily signs of ecstatic love.
