akliṣṭabālatarupallavalobhanīyaṃ pītaṃ mayā sadayameva ratotsaveṣu /
bimbādharaṃ daśasi ced bhramara priyāyās tvāṃ kārayāmi kamalodarabandhanastham //

Sought after like the flawless tender sprout of a young tree, and drunk by me most tenderly during the festivals of love,
if you sting the bimba-lip of my beloved, O bee, I will have you imprisoned inside a lotus!
