pireeti boliya ekti komol, raser sagar majhe,

prem parimal lubdho bhramar, dhayolo apono kaje.

bhramar janoye kamolo madhuri, tenho she tahar bosh,

rasik janoye rosero chaturi, ane kohe apajash.

shoi ekotha bujhibe ke ?

je jono janoye se jodi na kohe kemone dhoribe de.

dharama karama lok chorachate e katha bujhite naare,

e tin akhoro jaharo morome shei she bolite pare.

chandidas kohe shuno he naagori, pireeti roshero saar,

pireeti rosher rasik hiole ki chhaar poraan taar?

Meaning – “A lotus called LOVE bloomed amidst the Ocean of Ras. Its love-honey tempted the greedy black-bee that rushed towards it to do its work. The black-bee very well the sweetness of the lotus and was completely subjugated by it. Now, a rasik knows the crafty ways of ras, though others might label them as ‘scandalous’. O friend (sigh) ! Who can understand this truth?

If that person, who knows all about the condition of my heart, still feigns ignorance, how do you expect me to survive? The people who are involved in discussing religion and pious activities will never understand this topic !!!

Only the one in whose heart these three syllables (pi, ree, and ti = love) have made their dwelling will be able to empathize. Poet Chandidas says – listen O lovely lass, love is the essence of ras, nothing remains in life once you drown in the ras of love.”
