chhīni lai, ina nainana mana chaina
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A virahiṇī says, “Oh sakhi! These eyes have usurped the peace of my mind. Since the moment I saw Shyāmasundara and His love-laden look, I have become oblivious of my body, mind, wealth and dear ones. Oh sakhi! I had not realized this before. Now, in a state of restlessness, sometimes I sit, sometimes I stand up, and sometimes run hither and thither, but nothing brings me any peace. Even worthless sleep has left me alone. I want and try unceasingly to forget Shyāmasundara’s fascinating form, but do not succeed in forgetting Him even for a moment.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, the virahiṇī yearningly says, “Oh sakhi! Now, when will I meet beloved Shyāmasundara, the giver of bliss and destroyer of grief?”

chhīni lai, ina nainana mana chaina
jaba te lakhī shyāmasundara chhavi, puni tina nainana-saina
taba te tana-mana-dhana-jana bhūle, asa jānati rahi maiṁ na
chhina baiṭhati chhina uṭhati bhajati chhina, nainana nīṁda na raina
pala-pala chahati surati bisarāvana, pai palahūṁ bisarai na
aba ‘kripālu’ piya sakhi! kaba milihaiṁ, dukha meṭana sukha daina
