जाने मोहब्बत, मुझे यह पहाड़ बहुत पसंद आ गया है। देखो कितना सुंदर है, छोटी-छोटी पहाड़ियाँ अलग-अलग दिख रही हैं। फूल और फल भी बहुत हैं, और पक्षी भी हर तरह के उड़ते फिरते हैं। मैं इसके प्यार में पड़ गया हूँ।
O lovely Sita, I am enamoured of this delightful mountain with its enchanting peaks laden with abundance of flowers and fruits and flocked by different kinds of birds.
