Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A sakhī says to her intimate friend, “Oh sakhi! Listen to what happened one day. I was bathing in the river Yamunā, when Shyāmasundara came there all of a sudden. The joy which my eyes experienced at that time cannot be described by the tongue. ‘You and I make an excellent pair’, after saying thus, He started off smiling slowly. I, too, teasingly said in a low voice, ‘You are black, and I am fair; how can black and white make a good pair?” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, the sakhī adds, “Now, yearning for Shyāmasundara, I am repenting in my heart for those words of mine.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
sakhī! sunu, eka dinā kī bāta
nhāta rahī taṭa taraṇi-tanūjā, āyo shyāmala-gāta
jo sukha bhayo lakhata sakhi aṁkhiyana, so mukha kahi nahiṁ jāta
‘torī morī jorī’ imi kahi, chalyo manda musakāta
hauṁ hūṁ manda surana soṁ imi kaha, “shyāma gaura kasa nāta”
asa kyoṁ kahī, ‘kripālu’ sochi yoṁ, aba mana mahaṁ pachhitāta
