Maan Madhuri · Pad 22
chhod̤i mohiṁ, rādhe kitai gaī?
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
(Searching for Shrī Rādhā, beloved Shyāmasundara wails in every grove.) Oh the source of My life, Rādhe! Where have You gone forsaking Me? You have done māna without any reason. Searching for You in each and every grove of bending creepers, I have been exhausted, yet I could not find You till now. Oh! To Me, the whole world seems empty without You. My pranas attempt to leave the body again and again in order to come to Your lotus-feet, but every time, they are stopped by the eyes, craving to see You. In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, “Oh Kishorī Jī! Till now, I have spent this period of Your separation somehow, but I am absolutely unable to live without You anymore.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
chhod̤i mohiṁ, rādhe kitai gaī?
binu kārana liya ṭhāna māna mama, jīvana prāna-maī
ḍhūṁd̤hata-ḍhūṁd̤hata hāri thakyoṁ hauṁ, kuñja-latana unaī
tuma binu mo kahaṁ saba jaga sūno, dīkhata hāya daī!
prāna payāna karana chaha pai ina, nainana roka laī
tuma binu aba ‘kripālu’ nahiṁ bīte, aba lauṁ hauṁ bitaī
