JANMASHTAMI! O Gopis! come and gather tonight, Onto the bank of the Jamuna, For, from the lap of its waves, Peeps the babe Krishna! O sleep not tonight, But come to the Jamuna, Eyes brimful with longing, And drink of love, cupful after cupful! Not for sleeping, Is this dark night, unique for love, For in the waters of the Jamuna, The Lord God doth manifest Himself Tonight the Jamuna is surging forth, Resplendent in its beauty, And in the darkness of the night, With abandon plays the flute, its songs of love! Come, see the wonderful vision, On the dancing waves tonight, Perched on Vasudev's shoulders, The Beloved frolics with love! Seeing beloved Shyam Beautiful in their love, the dark waves rise, They rejoice, and in rapture do they soar, Their loving salutations to pour! Again and again doth Nuri contemplate, The jewel of the waves this night, And into the Jamuna she pours, The tears of her lovelorn plight! ☼
