kishorī pada, kiṅkara shyāma sujāna
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Shrī Shyāmasundara is the eternal servitor of Kishorī Jī’s lotus-feet. He always massages Kishorī Jī’s feet in heart-stealing new groves. Sometimes, He waves a whisk on Kishorī Jī and sometimes keeps standing with a spittoon in His hand for Her. He roams in the lanes of Her abode Barasānā, singing Her virtues, and describing Her glory, beseeches Her to grace Him. Whenever She gets angry (māninī) with Him, He tries to please Her, shedding tears in Her feet. Distressed by Her separation, He implores Her maid-servants to somehow arrange Kishorī Jī’s darshana for Him. Wounded by Kishorī Jī’s love-laden side-glances, He keeps on calling Her name ‘Rādhe’ ‘Rādhe’ in the alleys of Gahvaravana. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that Shyāmasundara is extremely fortunate to be blessed with the service of our Swāminī, Kishorī Jī.

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
kishorī pada, kiṅkara shyāma sujāna
navala-nikuñja-mañju bicha nita hī, chāpata charanana kānha
kabahuṁka chaṁvara ḍhurāvata, kabahuṁka, khad̤o liye pikadāna
barasāne kī galiyana bicha nita, karata lalī-guna gāna
māṁgata kṛipā kishorī jū kī, kari kari suyasha bakhāna
dṛiga aṁsuvana soṁ charaṇa pakhārata, jaba rādhe kara māna
hā! hā!! khāta sakhina soṁ yāchata, rādhe darshana dāna
gahavara galina raṭata nita ‘rādhe!’, biṁdhe priyā-dṛiga-bāna
bad̤abhāgī ‘kripālu’ so pivu jo, rādhe hātha bikāna
