Dainya Madhuri · Pad 104
hari kahaṁ lauṁ mana samajhāuṁ re
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh Shyāmasundara! For how long can I continue making my mind understand? This intoxicated mind is not ready to listen to me by any means whatsoever; how should I bring it to the right track? Even after continuously feeding my senses with their desired objects, and experiencing only pain instead of happiness, I do not feel disgusted of doing so even in the least. Masquerading in eighty-four lakh types of bodies, I am knocking around from pillar to post. I also disgrace the name of rasikas by boastingly talking and acting as the greatest of them. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Now, a long time has passed entreating You. Oh Shyāmasundara! Please listen to my prayer and make this mind of mine a bee of the lotuses of Your feet.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
hari kahaṁ lauṁ mana samajhāuṁ re
mana-mataṅga mānata nahiṁ nekahuṁ, kehi vidhi yāya manāuṁ re
bhari bhari ina indrina-vishayana ghaṭa, nekahuṁ nāhiṁ aghāuṁ re
dhari dhari swāṁga laksha chaurāsī, dara dara ṭhokara khāuṁ re
bāta baghāri mahā rasikana kī, tinakou nāuṁ lajāuṁ re
aba to sunahu ‘kripālu’ bera bhai, kahaṁ lauṁ hauṁ ririyāuṁ re
