Behold the large eyes of the deerB
Yet he is forced to roam the forestsC

The harsh crane has brilliant plumageD
While the sweet voiced cuckoo is blackE

The rivers flow in pure streamsF
But the sea makes them saltG

Fools sit on thrones as kingsH
While the wise beg their breadI

Mira's lord is the courtly GiridharaB
The king persecutes the BhaktasH
