sakhī! maiṁ, giridhara hātha bikānī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
(One sakhī recounts to another her first sweet encounter with beloved Shyāmasundara.) Oh sakhi! Today I was sold to beloved Shyāmasundara forever. I was intoxicated with the love of my Beloved after drinking the invaluable, sweet love-wine without paying any price for it. Finding me drunk with the sweetness of my Beloved’s beauty, people call me mad. Oh sakhi! Every fibre of my being is filled with the nectarean bliss of Shyāmasundara. I have become completely unconscious of my body. I have thrown away even the sense of worldly propriety, the honour of ancestry, and the injunctions of the Vedas like a blade of grass. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī advises himself, “You should also drink this nectar of divine love-bliss. Stop being a slave to your mind forever.”

sakhī! maiṁ, giridhara hātha bikānī
pī binu mola amola-madhura-madhu, bhai piya prema divānī
chhakī piyā-rasa-rūpa-mādhurī, loga kaheṁ baurānī
roma roma rami rahyo shyāma-rasa, sudhi-budhi deha bhulānī
tṛiṇa sama ḍāri veda-maryādā, loka-lāja kula-kānī
piya ‘kripālu’ sakhi! hari-rasa-madirā, karati sadā manamānī
