ગુજરાતીગીતોનું ગીત ૫:૨
હું સૂતી હોઉં છું પણ મારું હૃદય સ્વપ્નમાં જાગૃત હોય છે. એ મારા પ્રીતમનો સાદ છે તે દ્વાર ઠોકે છે અને કહે છે કે, “મારી બહેન, મારી પ્રિયતમા, મારી હોલી, મારી ગુણિયલ, મારે માટે દ્વાર ઉઘાડ, મારું માથું રાત્રીના ઝાકળથી ભીજાયેલું છે મારા વાળ રાતનાં ટીપાંથી પલળી ગયા છે.”
हिन्दीश्रेष्ठगीत ५:२
मैं सोती थी, परन्तु मेरा मन जागता था। सुन! मेरा प्रेमी खटखटाता है, और कहता है, “हे मेरी बहन, हे मेरी प्रिय, हे मेरी कबूतरी, हे मेरी निर्मल, मेरे लिये द्वार खोल; क्योंकि मेरा सिर ओस से भरा है, और मेरी लटें रात में गिरी हुई बूँदों से भीगी हैं।” (प्रका. 3:20)

2I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the dampness of the night.”

3I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?

4My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My heart pounded for him.
