ना बोलो श्याम हमी सन
जान गई तुमरे ढंग

naa bolo shyaam hamee san,
jaan gayi tumre dhang

कुबजा नारी अति मन भाई
अब कैसो हमरो संग

kubjaa naaree ati mana bhaai,
ab kaiso humro sang

Meaning: Radha deeply in love but annoyed with Shyam's (Krishna) absence and ignorance, She tells to not to speak to her because of careless attitude towards her, Radha taunts him that nowadays he spends more time with not-so-nice women then why he has at all come back to Radha for make it up.
