yugalavara, jhūlani kī balihāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
I sacrifice myself on the lovely scene of the swinging of the divine couple. Shyāmā and Shyāma, with Their arms around each-other’s neck, are bending and swaying in the intoxication of love while swinging. Clouds are rolling and gathering around in the sky producing a thundering sound. Lightning is flashing again and again. Gopīs are singing raga Malhāra with tānas in the fifth key. As soon as they started singing raga Malhāra, clouds began to shower, as a result of which Shyāmā- Shyāma are getting wet. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī comments, “Blessed is this heart-stealing scene and blessed are they who are watching it!”

yugalavara, jhūlani kī balihāra
nāgari aru nāgara jhuki jhūmata, bhala galabāhīṁ ḍāra
umad̤i ghumad̤i ghana garajata chamakati, chapalā bārambāra
pañchama sura soṁ tāna alāpati, gāvati sakhina malāra
gāvata hī ghana barasana lāge, bhījata dou sarakāra
dhani ‘kripālu’ so bāṁkī jhāṁkī, dhani jina tāhi nihāra
