shyaama sundara banamaalee ke
sakhee darasa binaa jiyaraa tarasa rahe |
saaMvaree soorata mohanee moorata
chitavana basa gayee mana more sakhee
darasa binaa jiyaraa tarasa rahe ||
Devnagri
श्याम सुन्दर बनमाली के
सखी दरस बिना जियरा तरस रहे ।
सांवरी सूरत मोहनी मूरत
चितवन बस गयी मन मोरे सखी
दरस बिना जियरा तरस रहे ॥

The Nayika says to her close friend - \"My heart is itching for the sight of Shyam-sundar (beautifully dark in complexion) Banamali (one who wanders in the forest). His dark complexion and attractive features are saved in my heart.\"
