yaha mauna kāla lī, kā lalī?
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
An intimate friend of virahiṇī Kishorī Jī asks Her, “Oh Kishorī Jī! Have You been observing a vow of silence since yesterday? You remain very sad, You have abandoned eating and drinking. Are You practising yoga? You have given up looking around, laughing, walking etc. Have You been deceived by some trickster? Your eyes shed rivulets of tears day and night without any cease. Has Your heart been ignited with the fire of separation? In my opinion, it is surely some trick of Shyāmasundara who keeps a black blanket with Him.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, the sakhī says, “Oh sakhi! Why are You hiding this secret from me? Am I not Your own?”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
yaha mauna kāla lī, kā lalī?
ati udāsa nahiṁ bhūkha pyāsa kachhu, yogini kī gati kā chalī?
chitavani, haṁsani, gavani saba bhūlī, kou chhaliyā tohiṁ kā chhalī?
jhara jhara jhara dṛiga jhara janu nirjhara, birahāgini mahaṁ kā jalī?
yaha kālī karatūti lagati mohiṁ, jāke kālī kāmalī
mohiṁ ‘kripālu’ kyoṁ nāhiṁ batāvati, hamahuṁ sagī nahiṁ kā alī
