anokhī, piya-pyārī kī bāta
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Amazed at the uniqueness of the divine couple Shrī Rādhā- Kṛishṇa, a sakhī says to one of her friends, “Oh sakhi! The divinity of Priyā-Priyatama is beyond the reach of my intellect. Even after ceaselessly exercising my brain for a long time, I could not understand its secret. Oh friend! The thing is when I behold the Beloved, He seems to be lovelier than even Priyā Jī, and while looking at Priyā Jī, it is She who appears to be more beautiful of the two. Not only this, but whichever part of Their bodies I glance at, that part seems to be prettier than the rest.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī explains the reason, “Oh sakhi! The secret behind this is that both, Shrī Rādhā-Kṛishṇa, possess divine, transcendental bodies. Therefore, it is but natural to experience ever-increasing, ever-new bliss in Them.”

anokhī, piya-pyārī kī bāta
samujhi sakī nahiṁ bāta sakhī! yaha, sochi thakī dina-rāta
jaba piya kahaṁ dekhahuṁ taba piya mohiṁ, pyārihuṁ-sarasa lakhāta
jaba pyārihiṁ dekhahuṁ taba pyārihuṁ, piya te sarasa janāta
puni ina duhuṁna lakhahuṁ jina aṅgani, tinahiṁna rasa adhikāta
kaha ‘kripālu’ dou chinmaya yāte, nita nava rasa sarasāta
