(1) Now I am overcome with love for Him. How can I understand what has happened to me? (2) When I see Him, my peaceful composure is broken into pieces. I cannot bear being tossed to an fro by the waves of the anguish of separation from Him. (3) O gopi-friend, how can I turn away from Krishna? I do not know. It is as if I am burning in the midst of flames. My heart is enchanted by Him. (4) You gopi-friends are very wise. What wise words can I speak to you? (5) Ah! I am so overcome with longings. I feel that soon I will lose my life. (6) Please write a letter. Place my request before Krishna. (7) Only if I can meet Krishna will I stay alive. Govinda dasa says: O gopi girl, in this song I sing your glories.
