kariya mohiṁ kuñja kadambani ḍāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh Lord! Make me that branch of the Kadamba tree, hanging down a swing from which, Shyāmā-Shyāma swing in the groves. Sometimes let Kishorī Jī sit on the swing and Shyāmasundara swing Her and sometimes let both of Them grace the swing and sakhīs give pushes to the swing. When Shyāmā and Shyāma swing in this fashion, I too will swing with Them and drink the nectar of Their beauty jolting, bending and watching Them. I will shower Kadamba flowers on darling Shrī Rādhā and beloved Shrī Kṛishṇa from above. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Thus, beholding the bewitching beauty of the Divine Couple, let me remain intoxicated with love forever.”

kariya mohiṁ kuñja kadambani ḍāra
jinameṁ jhūlā ḍāri yugalavara, jhūlaiṁ kuñja majhāra
kabahuṁka jhoṁṭā deṁya lāla jū, kabahuṁ deṁya brajanāra
jhūlūṁ lāla lalī saṁga hauṁ hūṁ, jhuki jhuki jhūmi nihāra
pyārī prītama para ūpara te, karauṁ pushpa bauchhāra
lakhata ‘kripālu’ yugala jhāṁkī nita, hvai jāūṁ balihāra
