Dainya Madhuri · Pad 9
aho hari! kaba lauṁ rahihau dūri?
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh Shyāmasundara! For how long will You stay away from me? When will I drink with my thirsty eyes the nectarean beauty of Your captivating form that has the splendour of a new rain-laden cloud to my heart’s content? Although I have committed innumerable sins in past innumerable kalpas, yet Oh Lord! I sincerely believe from the bottom of my heart that You and You alone are the treasure of my life; You alone are mine. When will that most fortunate day of my life come when You will think about me, considering me the foot-dust of Your devotees. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Why haven’t You come to bless me with Your love as yet? What are You thinking? Have You forgotten me?”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
aho hari! kaba lauṁ rahihau dūri?
kabai nirakhihauṁ nava jaladhara tanu, ina nainana bharapūri?
yadapi kalapa kalapāntara hī soṁ, kīnyo pātaka bhūri
tadapi nātha! yaha hiya pratīti ‘tuma, mere jīvanamūri’
kabai surati karihau hamarīhūṁ, jāni dāsa-pagadhūri
kyoṁ ‘kripālu’ aba lauṁ nahiṁ āye? kā hiya rahe bisūri?
