Translation

Only the fortunate ones drink the sweet honey from the lips of the beloved, who have fallen on the chest (because of the embrace of the lover); the garment covering their breasts slipping away; whose eyes are closed (in shyness and ecstasy); yet the eyes are slightly uncovered by the eye-lids; whose neck-region is dampened by the sweat flowing because of the exhaustion of the intercourse! ॥ 25 ॥
