English meaning
A virahiṇī says, “Oh Shyāmasundara! Oh the life of my life! ‘Duḥshāsana’ of Your separation is pulling away the garment of my life; come soon and save me from him. I am burning in the fire of separation; come running and extinguish the fire immediately. Oh Beloved! You tell me Yourself, where should I go and what should I do without You? Now my pranas are about to leave my body. Please come and console my heart somehow.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Oh the Lord of my life! Now, if You do not come at once, You won’t find me alive.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
shyāma! aba begi bachāo jī!
viraha-dushāsana prāna harana chaha, basana bad̤hāo jī!
viraha-jwāla soṁ jarī jāta hauṁ, dhāi bujhāo jī!
kahā karūṁ? kita jāuṁ? hāya! maiṁ, tumahiṁ batāo jī!
aba to prāṇa chalana chaha priyatama!, dhīra baṁdhāo jī!
jo ‘kripālu’ piya kiya abera to, jiyata na pāo jī!
