hṛidaya! tū kulisha kaṭhora lakhāta
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A devotee says, “Oh my heart! You seem to be even harder than Indra’s thunderbolt, because even if you were made of iron you would have melted in the strong fire of beloved Kṛishṇa’s separation long ago. Oh my life! Now, if you want to save yourself, run to your life Shyāmasundara at once, otherwise this fire of separation will deceive and finish you. Strong fire of separation is burning in your heart and still you are sleeping! It seems as if you are waiting for your death. Oh! If only someone could listen to me and save me from this fire which is burning my body!” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “After thus listening to my cry of distress, both my eyes felt pity on me and started showering the rain of tears which lessened the heat of the fire of separation a little.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
hṛidaya! tū kulisha kaṭhora lakhāta
jo tū hoto lauha, biraha-dava, kaba ko hī jari jāta
bhāju prāṇa! aba prāṇanātha ḍhiga, biraha karana chaha ghāta
ura-gṛiha lāgi āgi tū sovata, jovata mauta janāta
hāya! gohāri lāgu aba koū, biraha jarāvata gāta
lakhi ‘kripālu’ dṛiga dhāya lāya jala, karana lage barasāta
