mātu! aba to sana karahuṁ na bāta
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Little Kishorī Jī says, “Oh Mother! I will never talk with you from now on.” Kishorī Jī is in a sulky mood and is uttering these words lispingly. Mother Kīrti asked, “Oh Lālī! What is the matter? Why are You getting so angry?” Kishorī Jī replied, “The mothers of all My friends have prepared male and female dolls for them. I have been asking you for two days; still you don’t listen to Me.” Kishorī Jī is continuously weeping while talking to Her mother. “I don’t want a mother like you and a brother like Shrīdāmā.” Making Kishorī Jī sit in her lap and wiping Her tears with the end of her sari, Mother Kīrti smilingly said to Kishorī Jī, in the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, “Oh Lālī! I will prepare the dolls for You right now the way You like.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
mātu! aba to sana karahuṁ na bāta
kahati kuṁvari kīrati maiyā soṁ, rūṭhi vachana tutarāta
kahā bāta kaha mātu kuṁvari te, kahā itai risiyāta
gud̤iyā aru gud̤arā sakhiyana kī, diya banāya una māta
tū nahiṁ sunati kahati dina dvai te, imi kahi rovati jāta
hauṁ na chahauṁ torī sī maiyā, shrīdāmā soṁ bhrāta
nija añchala-paṭa poṁchhi naina jala, kaha maiyā musakāta
daūṁ banāya ‘kripālu’ abahiṁ tohiṁ, gud̤iyā kahu jehi bhāṁta
