Sundari Tuhu Badi Hrdaya Pasana

Govinda Das Kaviraj has written this song “Sundari Tuhu Badi Hrdaya Pasana”. This song is taken from the book Padavali. In this song, Govinda Das Kaviraj tries to persuade Srimati Radharani to quickly go and meet Sri Krishna, who is tormented due to separation from Her.
 
(Refrain)
sundari tuhu badi hrdaya pasana
tuya lagi madana-        saranale pidita
jiba-ite saḿsaya kana
 
(1)
baithali taru-tale         pantha nehara-i
nayane galaye ghana lora
ra-i ra-i kari      saghane japaye hari
tuya bhabe taru deya kora
 
(2)
sitala nalini-dala         tahe malayanila
agore lepa-i anga
camaki camaki hari       uthata kata beri
hanata madana-taranga
 
(3)
calaha bipine dhani        ramani-siromani
jhata kari bhetaha kana
gobinda-dasera bani      turite calaha dhani
kanu bhela bahuta nidana
 
 
(Refrain) O beautiful girl, Your heart is like stone. Because of You Krsna is tormented, is wounded by Kamadeva's flaming arrows. Because of You Krsna's very life is now in doubt.
 
(1) Sitting under a tree, Krsna watches the pathway. Tears glide from His eyes. "Radha! Radha!" is the japa He chants. He is overcome with love for You.
 
(2) Bearing the fragrance of lotus petals, the cooling Malaya breeze anoints His body. Again and again He is startled. How many times does He stand up? Kamadeva's waves toss Him to and fro.
 
(3) O beautiful girl, run to the forest. O crest jewel of all beautiful girls, go and meet Krsna. Govinda dasa says: O beautiful girl, quickly go. Krsna is on the verge of death.
