kuṁvari binu, aba to rahyo na jāya
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
(Shyāmasundara’s lamentation in Kishorī Jī’s separation.) Oh! Oh! Now it is becoming utterly impossible for Me to live without Kishorī Jī any longer. Oh sakhīs! Whosoever amongst you can pacify and bring Her to Me, I shall sacrifice My countless lives on Her. Listen Oh Lalite! You are an expert in these matters and at the same time very dear to Kishorī Jī; therefore, I throw Myself at your feet and beseech you to save My life. I implore you again and again! I entreat you to grant Me this one favour. I sacrifice Myself on you. What more to say, I am even ready to become your eternal slave. In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, Shyāmasundara adds, “Oh Lalite! Buy Me forever in exchange for just one glimpse of Kishorī Jī’s lotus-feet.”

kuṁvari binu, aba to rahyo na jāya
koṭina prāna nichhāvara vāpai, jo kou lāya manāya
sunu lalite! tū chatura-shiromaṇi, puni pyārihuṁ manabhāya
yāte rākhi lehu aba prānana, parūṁ tihāre pāya
‘hā! hā!’ khāuṁ, balaiyāṁ leūṁ, tava kara jāuṁ bikāya
lai ‘kripālu’ mohiṁ mola bāra ika, kuṁvari-charana dikharāya
