sakhī! sunu, asa mama ura paratīti
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
(The gopīs are talking to one another after Shyāmasundara’s going away to Mathurā.) One sakhī says, “Oh sakhi! I have full faith that the professor of love Shyāmasundara will surely come back. How can He forget the selfless love of the residents of Braja? How can He violate the sacred mode of love by forgetting those maidens frolicking with whom He used to spend the whole night like a moment?” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, the sakhī adds, “Well, He can do whatever He likes, but I am afraid lest someone considers Him to be heartless from His not coming back to Braja.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
sakhī! sunu, asa mama ura paratīti
aihaiṁ avashi shyāmasundara puni, jāni prīti kī rīti
kaise bisaraihaiṁ manamohana, ina brajavāsina-prīti
jina saṁga biharata rāta palaka mahaṁ, jāti rahī sakhi bīti
tina bisarāya hāya! sakhi! kaise, karihaiṁ asa anarīti
kaha ‘kripālu’ kou niṭhura kahai jani, ihai eka raha bhīti
