સુરંગ હિંડોળો સરસ બનાયો;
ઝુલત રામ સીયા મિલી દોઉ, બહુત આનંદ ઉર ન સમાયો ... ટેક
suraňg hiňdolo saras banāyo
jhulat rām siyā mili do-u, bahut anaňd ur na samāyo ... repeat

કાલિ ઘટા ધન દામિની દમકત, રુમ ઝુમ વર્ષત મેઘ સોહાયો;
ગર્જત ગગન મગ્ન પીક ચાતક, મંદ સુગંધ સમીર લઇ આયો ... ૧
kāli ghatā dhan dāmini dam-kat, rum jhum varshat megh sohāyo
garjat gagan magna pik chātak, maňd sugaňdh samir la-ii āyo ... 1

એક ઝુલાવત કનડો ગાવત, એક નાચત સુગંધ લગાયો;
એક દબાકર એક ઉર લિયે, એક નિહાળત અતિ સુખ પાયો ... ૨
eka jhulāvat kanado gāvat, eka nāchat sugaňdh lagāyo
eka dabākar eka ur liye, eka nihā-lat ati sukh pāyo ... 2

જૈ જૈકાર કરત સુરિનર મુનિ, ઇન્દ્ર મુદિત નિશાન બજાયો;
દાસ હરિ અવિચલ આ જોડી, નિગમ અગમ સો પ્રગટ બતાયો ... ૩
jai jai-kār karat suri-nar muni, indra mudit nishān bajāyo
dās hari avichal ā jodi, nigam agam so pragat batāyo ... 3

English translation (by AI):
This bhajan describes a joyful monsoon celebration in the spiritual realm. Lord Rama and Goddess Sita sit together on a beautifully decorated, vibrant swing. Around them, nature comes alive with dark clouds, gentle rain, and singing birds. Devotees surround the divine couple, singing, dancing, pushing the swing, and celebrating their union.

0. A beautiful, colorful swing has been expertly crafted for the divine couple. Rama and Sita swing together, bringing immense, overwhelming joy to the heart.

1. Dark clouds gather and lightning flashes, as beautiful, gentle rain falls, bringing delight, while the sky thunders, cuckoo and chatak birds rejoice, and a slow, fragrant breeze blows.

2. One swings the cradle while another sings the Kanado raga, and another dances having applied fragrant perfumes. One massages the feet, another holds the Lord close to the heart, while another gazes intently, finding ultimate spiritual bliss.

3. Gods, humans, and sages cheering victory as Lord Indra joyfully sounds the drum. Das Hari describes the couple as everlasting, making the divine, who is usually unreachable by the Vedas, visible and present.

The core spiritual meaning of this bhajan revolves around three main themes:

• Divine Union: The imagery of the swing represents the perfect harmony between the Divine Masculine (Rama) and Divine Feminine (Sita).
• Cosmic Joy: Nature reacting to the couple shows that the entire universe celebrates when the divine is praised.
• Devotional Bliss (Bhakti): The ultimate goal is pure devotion, where devotees find absolute happiness simply by serving and watching the divine couple.
