Since Syama has left Braja, the beautiful lotus-like Radharani is so unhappy that She is constantly weeping.

अर्थ
While decorating a forest bower with wildflowers, Radharani exclaims, “My dear friend, all night I lie awake weeping because Syama will not be coming. He is no longer in Braja!”
śyāma virohe kāńde kāńde sūka sārī
śyāma virohe kāńde kāńde vraja nārī

अर्थ
Due to separation of Syama both male and female parrots are weeping, along with the cowherd girls of Braja. Syama is no longer playing the flute and the cows no longer go out to the pasture. “My dear friend, our life and soul, Krsna, has left Braja!”
