chapala tori, chitavani kī bali jāuṁ

English meaning

Oh Naughty Shyāmasundara! I offer myself on Your sweet side-glance. Even after looking at You again and again, it seems as if I have never seen You, because the craving to see You keeps on increasing every moment. There always overflows the nectar of love from Your eyes even after drinking which continuously, one never gets contented. Although Mahāvishṇu, too, possesses as beautiful and pure eyes as You do, yet I do not experience that bliss on seeing them. Although the face of Mahāvishṇu is exactly like Yours, yet His smile does not captivate my heart. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Even though both - sugar candy and jaggery - have one and the same element of sweetness, still so long as sugar candy is available, the mind does not get attracted towards jaggery.”
