shyāma hauṁ kaba hvaihauṁ brajadhūri
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh Shyāmasundara! When will I become the dust of Braja? Becoming the dust of Braja, when will I cling to each and every limb of Your body, feeling enraptured with bliss. This dust of Braja is regarded by the rasikas as elixir of life. The creator of the world, Brahmā, thinks himself to be extremely fortunate in becoming a beggar with the purpose of being blessed with that holy dust. In order to get purified with the dust of Braja, paramahansas have assumed the forms of creepers and trees in Braja renouncing their samādhi forever. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “When will that day dawn when, becoming that dust, I will make You steeped in dust, and then, suspecting Your body to be that of Shaṅkara Jī, Kāmadeva will gaze at it out of fear (being reminded of the moment when in his attempt to persuade Shaṅkara Jī from his meditative trance, he was reduced to ashes by the latter).”

shyāma hauṁ kaba hvaihauṁ brajadhūri
hvai brajadhūri aṅga lapaṭaihauṁ, ura ānaṁda bharapūri
jehi brajaraja kahaṁ rasikana mānata, prāna sajīvana mūri
jehi pāvana raja pāvana kahaṁ vidhi, bhāga manāvata bhūri
jehi lagi bane latana taru gyānina, tyāgi samādhina dūri
dhūri dhūsarita tohiṁ ‘kripālu’ kaba, atanu lakhaigo ghūri
