hamarī ora ṭuka hero rī kishorī rādhe!
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh Vṛishabhānunandinī Rādhe! I implore You to turn Your graceful glance towards this downtrodden, fallen soul as well. Although I am fully aware of the fact that You are my only well-wisher, You are my sole refuge, yet I refuse to obey the teachings of rasikas. Instead, I continue to remain a slave to material sensual objects. I am intemperately expert like an accomplished artist in criticising and showing faults of others. Stuffed with false pride, I always commit the unforgivable sin, nāmāparādha by finding faults even in saints who are beyond the material world, by my arrogant intellect. I foppishly talk in the manner of the rasikas of Braja, who are the greatest among all saints, but what is my deplorable inner state? I do not allow the great vices - lust, anger, greed etc., residing in my heart, to dwindle even a little. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī humbly adds, “My name is Kripālu (i.e. merciful) but You are well aware of my deeds. Yet whether good or bad, am I not only Yours, and Yours alone?”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
hamarī ora ṭuka hero rī kishorī rādhe!
yadyapi bhalībhāṁti hauṁ jānata, tuma binu hitū na mero rī kishorī rādhe!
tadapi rasikajana kahī na mānata, rahata vishaya ko chero rī kishorī rādhe!
paranindā paradosha kathana meṁ, chatura vichitra chitero rī kishorī rādhe!
karata nāma aparādha nirantara, hiya haṅkāra ghanero rī kishorī rādhe!
bāta banāvata braja rasikana kī, mana kāmādi basero rī kishorī rādhe!
nāma ‘kripālu’ kāma tuma jānati, bhalo buro jasa tero rī kishorī rādhe!
