hamāro piya prānana pyāro
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Our beloved Shyāmasundara is dearer than life. Every part of His body is so lovely that it defies the beauty of innumerable Kāmadevas. The swaying of the peacock-feathered crown when He strolls intoxicatingly as well as the sight of the golden crown adorning His head is extremely alluring! His curly black hair and dangling earrings look overly lovely. Naturally of the colour of collyrium, His mischievous eyes forcibly fascinate the heart. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “I am surprised that even after being so infinitely lovely, beloved Shyāmasundara is called ‘black’ by rasikas.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
hamāro piya prānana pyāro
jāko aṅga aṅga asa pyāro, shata anaṅga vāro
jhūmata mora mukuṭa matavāro, kanaka mukuṭa nyāro
kacha ketika kāro ghuṁgharāro, shruti kuṇḍala dhāro
lochana chapala sahaja kajarāro, jehi mohini ḍāro
kaha ‘kripālu’ etika pyāro piya, rasikana kaha kāro
