raina-dina, nainana chaina parai na
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A virahiṇī says, “Oh sakhi! These eyes refuse to be at peace even for a moment without seeing Shyāmasundara. Oh sakhi! Since the time Shyāmasundara made me drink the nectar of divine love through His ogles which were sharp but boundlessly blissful, I feel neither hungry nor thirsty nor am I able to sleep at nights. Due to the fear of public slander, I sing the praises of my Beloved’s beauty, sweetness etc. only in my mind. Even the love-laden words of sakhīs sound bitter to me. Sometimes I forget myself in the bliss of the Beloved’s sweet union and sometimes it is the pain of His separation that makes me completely oblivious of myself.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, the sakhī adds, “Thus even after drinking the ambrosia of love, equally mixed with nectar and poison, I am unable to quench my thirst even in the least, instead, it intensifies every moment.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
raina-dina, nainana chaina parai na
jaba te māryo naina-saina piya, paina kintu sukha daina
taba te bhūkha pyāsa nahiṁ lāgati, lāgati nīṁda na raina
mana hī mana piya guna-gana gāvati, nahiṁ bhāvati sakhi baina
kabahuṁ itai ānanda ki maiṁ nā, kabahuṁ na ika chhina chaina
piyata ‘kripālu’ prema visha-amṛita, pai ṭuka pyāsa bujhai na
