Sanskrit Original
मातु पिता भगिनी प्रिय भाई। प्रिय परिवारु सुह्रद समुदाई।। सासु ससुर गुर सजन सहाई। सुत सुंदर सुसील सुखदाई।। जहँ लगि नाथ नेह अरु नाते। पिय बिनु तियहि तरनिहु ते ताते।। तनु धनु धामु धरनि पुर राजू। पति बिहीन सबु सोक समाजू।। भोग रोगसम भूषन भारू। जम जातना सरिस संसारू।। प्राननाथ तुम्ह बिनु जग माहीं। मो कहुँ सुखद कतहुँ कछु नाहीं।। जिय बिनु देह नदी बिनु बारी। तैसिअ नाथ पुरुष बिनु नारी।। नाथ सकल सुख साथ तुम्हारें। सरद बिमल बिधु बदनु निहारें।।

"Father and mother, sisters and dear brothers, beloved kinsmen and friends, father-in-law and mother-in-law, preceptor and relatives, allies and even sons, however good-looking, well-behaved and congenial-nay, whatever ties of affection and kinship there exist-to a woman bereft of her beloved lord they are far more tormenting than the scorching sun. Life, riches, house, land, city and kingdom-all these are mere accoutrements of woe to a woman bereft of her lord. Luxury to her is loathsome like a disease and ornaments a burden; while the world is like the torments of hell. Without you, O lord of my life, nothing in this world is delightful to me. As the body without a soul, and a river without water, even so, my lord, is a woman without her husband. In your company, my lord, I shall be happy in everyway so long as I behold your countenance resembling the cloudless moon of an autumnal night."
