āja sakhi, girī shīsha pai gāja
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
(The first meeting of an extremely fortunate gopī with the supreme God, Shyāmasundara, and her revelation of it to her intimate friend). Oh sakhi! Today, even I received a bolt from the blue. I had gone to fetch water from the river Yamunā with my friends. In the meantime, Naughty Shyāmasundara, standing on the bank of the Yamunā called me in a loud voice and said, ‘Oh sakhi! Lalitā has called you immediately for some urgent work.’ Believing Him, I started to go and that Trickster too, followed me unashamedly. On the way, finding me alone, He embraced me forcibly. In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, Oh sakhi! Since then, it has been impossible for me to experience even momentary peace and even unashamed shame has abandoned me.

āja sakhi, girī shīsha pai gāja
taṭa-panaghaṭa ghaṭa bharana gaī rahi, saṁga raha sakhina samāja
āya achānaka ravi-tanayā-taṭa, ṭeryo mohiṁ brajarāja
ṭeri kahī ‘sakhi! tohiṁ lalitā sakhi, druta bulāya kachhu kāja’
hauṁ jaba chalī alī! taba chhaliyā, chalyo saṅga binu lāja
ikalī jāni lagāya liyo ura, mohiṁ chhaliyana saratāja
nahiṁ ‘kripālu’ taba te kala ika pala, lājahuṁ nigurī bhāja
