Your hair is like a wave of the river Yamuna, and the mole next to it appears like an ascetic sitting beside it.
Here, the poet paints an exquisite picture by comparing the beloved’s dark, undulating tresses to the sacred dark waters of the Yamuna river. The little black mole resting right beside her hair is likened to a quiet ascetic (sanyasi) meditating peacefully on the riverbank. It is a stunning blend of classical Indian imagery and romantic adoration, turning a physical mark of beauty into a symbol of spiritual devotion.
