English meaning
A gopī says to her intimate friend, “Oh sakhi! A piece of grit has fallen in my eye. I have been unable to sleep since the moment it happened. I have tried all means to take it out but to no avail. Since yesterday, I have not experienced any peace even for a moment. Oh sakhi! Rivulets of tears are flowing from my eyes continuously. Now you do something for me.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, the friend of the gopī said, “I know very well that this piece of grit is nothing else but Shyāmasundara Himself.”

arī sakhi!, kirikiri āṁkhi parī
jaba te parī kirikirī tabate, nīṁdihuṁ gai bhaga rī
koṭi yatana kari kari hauṁ hārī, tabahūṁ nahiṁ nikarī
aba mohiṁ kala te parata na kahuṁ kala, pala-chhina eka gharī
karahu tumahiṁ upachāra sakhī! kachhu, nainani lāga jharī
hauṁ ‘kripālu’ jānata hauṁ nīke, yaha kirikirī ‘harī’
