1 प्रेमी प्रेमिकासित बोल्दैः हे राजकुमारकी छोरी, जुत्ता लगाएका तिम्रा खुट्टा कति राम्रा छन्! गुरु कारीगरका हातले बनाएका जस्तै तिम्रा तिघ्राका गोलाइहरू रत्‍नझैँ छन् ।
As the chorus of “Mahanaim.” How beautiful were your feet with sandals, O daughter of Nadib. The turnings of your sides [are] as ornaments, Work of the hands of a craftsman.
2 तिम्रो नाभि वृत्ताकार कचौराजस्तै छ, जसमा मिसिएको दाखमद्यको कहिल्यै कमी नहोस् । तिम्रो पेट लिली फुलहरूले घेरिएको गहुँको थुप्रोजस्तै छ ।
Your waist [is] a basin of roundness, It does not lack the mixture, Your body a heap of wheat, fenced with lilies,
3 तिम्रा दुई स्तन दुईवटा पाठाजस्ता छन्, हरिणका जुम्ल्याहा पाठाजस्ता छन् ।
Your two breasts as two young ones, twins of a roe,
4 तिम्रो घाँटी हस्ती-हाडको धरहराजस्तो छ । तिम्रा आँखा बाथ-रब्बीमको मूल ढोकाको छेउमा अवस्थित हेश्बोनका तलाउहरूजस्ता छन् । तिम्रो नाक दमस्कसतिर फर्केको लेबनानको धरहराजस्तो छ ।
Your neck as a tower of the ivory, Your eyes pools in Heshbon, near the Gate of Bath-Rabbim, Your face as a tower of Lebanon looking to Damascus,
5 कर्मेल डाँडाजस्तै तिम्रो शिरले तिमीमाथि छ । तिम्रो शिरमा भएको कपाल कालो बैजनी रङको छ । कपालका राशिद्वारा राजा मोहित पारिन्छन् ।
Your head on you as Carmel, And the locks of your head as purple, The king is bound with the flowings!
6 हे मेरी प्रिय, तिम्रो आनन्दमा तिमी कति सुन्दरी र मायालु छ्यौ!
How beautiful and how pleasant you have been, O love, in delights.
7 तिम्रो उचाइ खजूरको रुखजस्तै छ, र तिम्रा स्तनहरू फलका झुप्पाझैँ छन् ।
This your stature has been like to a palm, And your breasts to clusters.
8 मैले भनेँ, “म त्यस खजूरको रुखमा चढ्न चाहन्छु । म त्यसका हाँगाहरू समात्‍ने छु ।” तिम्रा स्तनहरू दाखका झुप्पाहरूजस्तै होऊन्; तिम्रो नाकको सुगन्ध स्याउको बोटझैँ होस् ।
I said, “Let me go up on the palm, Let me lay hold on its boughs,” Indeed, let your breasts now be as clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of your face as citrons,
9 तिम्रो मुखको तालु मेरा प्रेमीकहाँ बिस्तारै बगेर जाने, सुत्‍नेहरूका ओठमा बग्‍ने सर्वोत्तम दाखमद्यजस्तै होस् । प्रेमिका प्रेमीसित बोल्दैः
And your palate as the good wine—Flowing to my beloved in uprightness, Strengthening the lips of the aged!
10 म मेरा प्रेमीकी हुँ, र उहाँले मेरो मेरो तृष्णा गर्नुहुन्छ ।
I [am] my beloved’s, and on me [is] his desire.
11 हे मेरा प्रेमी, आउनुहोस् । हामी खेतबारीमा डुल्न जाऔँ; गाउँहरूतिरै रात बिताऔँ ।
Come, my beloved, we go forth to the field,
12 हामी बिहान सबेरै उठेर दाखबारीहरूमा जाऔँ । दाखहरूमा कोपिला लागेर फक्रेका छन् कि छैनन्, र दारिमहरूमा फुल लागेका छन् कि छैनन् भनेर हेर्न जाऔँ । त्यहाँ म तपाईंलाई मेरो प्रेम दिने छु ।
We lodge in the villages, we go early to the vineyards, We see if the vine has flourished, The sweet smelling-flower has opened. The pomegranates have blossomed, There I give to you my loves;
13 दूधे-फुलहरूले आफ्नो बास्‍ना फैलाउँछन् । हामी उभिरहेको ढोकामा हर किसिमका उत्तम, नयाँ र पुराना फलहरू छन्, जुन मैले मेरा प्रेमीका लागि साँचिराखेकी छु ।
The mandrakes have given fragrance, And at our openings all pleasant things, New, indeed, old, my beloved, I laid up for you!
