1श्याम हैं कसौटी सम स्वर्ण सम श्यामा।
2स्वर्ण में कसौटी रंग लगे नाहिं बामा॥
3śhyāma haiṁ kasauṭī sama svarṇa sama śhyāmā
4svarṇa meṁ kasauṭī raṅga lage nāhiṁ bāmā
5O Gopi! Shyamsundar's dark complexion is black like a
6kasauti stone (which is used to test the purity of gold)
7and Shyama’s complexion is like gold. When gold is
8rubbed on a kasauti, it tests the gold’s authenticity, but
9the blackness of the kasauti does not affect the gold.
10Therefore, Shyamsundar's dark complexion cannot have
11any adverse effect on Shyama’s fair complexion.
