apanī ora ṭuka hero rī, kishorī rādhe
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A devotee is addressing Shrī Rādhā Rānī, “Oh Shrī Rādhe! Instead of looking at me, look at Yourself. So far as I am concerned, I have become extremely malicious and fallen due to forgetting You from time immemorial. The whole world knows of my sins, but think of Yourself! Where has Your resolution to deliver even the most sinful souls without any cause, disappeared? Just as a newborn child does not even recognise its mother, and yet the mother automatically fulfils all its needs, in the same way, I am also Your ignorant, stubborn and wicked child who is surrounded by the horrible darkness of ignorance. You never took so long in coming to the rescue of any sinner. Why, then, are You delaying so much in my case? Think about this.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “One hears of many unworthy sons in the material world too, but never of unworthy mothers. I don’t have anything further to say.”

apanī ora ṭuka hero rī, kishorī rādhe
hauṁ to kuṭila nīcha saba dina ko, vishva-vidita agha mero rī kishorī rādhe!
pai ‘binu-hetu-patita-pāvani’ yaha, virada duryo kita tero rī kishorī rādhe!
shishu navajāta na jānata mātahiṁ, rahata mātu ruchi chero rī kishorī rādhe!
tyoṁ hauṁ ati abodha jad̤a pāmara, mahāmoha-tama ghero rī kishorī rādhe!
hamarihiṁ bera bera kata etika, yāko kariya nibero rī kishorī rādhe!
jagahuṁ sunāta ‘kripālu’ kumāta na, yadapi kupūta ghanero rī kishorī rādhe!
