mere nainoṁ ko nīlamaṇi bhāya gayo re
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A devotee says, “My eyes became attached to the bewitching beauty of the sapphire-complexioned Shyāmasundara. He made me drink the nectar of love merely through His love-laden side-long looks. The treasure house of blissful love that I had been searching for like a beggar since the beginning-less time, was attained by me all of a sudden. Now I no longer have to worry about my past deeds, and even my future has become golden. And as for the present, He has already maddened me with His divine love. Now that ineffable beauty of my beloved Shyāmasundara pervades my entire body, mind and soul.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī comments in the language of the rasikas, “Sir! You are putting on airs right now, but on receiving Shyāmasundara’s separation in future, will say, ‘Oh! I have never been deceived so badly in the course of past innumerable lives!”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
mere nainoṁ ko nīlamaṇi bhāya gayo re
sarasa rasīle naina-saina soṁ, prema-sudhā-rasa pyāya gayo re
jehi khojata raha raṅka āju lauṁ, soi pārasa-maṇi pāya gayo re
agalo pichhalo bhayeu bhalo saba, pagalo mohiṁ banāya gayo re
aba soi rūpa anūpa prāṇadhana, tana mana prāṇa samāya gayo re
kaha ‘kripālu’ jaba viraha pāya taba, kahihau dhokhā khāya gayo re
