Blooming ones you see in forests

Her beautiful body with luster

Brings shame to gold that glitters.

Her beauty both in day and night

Superior to moon shining only in night

Or lotus blooming in the morn

In the night closed and gone.

Her eyebrows like Cupid’s arrow strike

Her glance like a bumble bee

Leads to intoxication slowly.

Exceptionally humble in actions

Embodiment of mercy and compassion

A beacon light of modesty, swerves from honesty never.

Unperturbed by worldly sorrow and misery
