Virah Madhuri · Pad 196
savatiyā niṁdiyā mohiṁ satāye
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A virahiṇī says, “The sleep is aggrieving me like a co-wife. Since the time I saw beloved Shyāmasundara in a dream, my heart has not been at peace even for a moment. I try different means to get some sleep, but the intense pang of separation wakes me up at once. When I do not sleep at all, how is it possible to see dreams? And without dreams, how can I meet my beloved? I wander all around like a lunatic, yearning for the sweet union of my beloved.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Oh virahiṇī! When your own mind is not in your control, why do you blame someone else (sleep)?”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
savatiyā niṁdiyā mohiṁ satāye
jaba te lakhī sapanavāṁ manavāṁ, neku chaina nā āye
sovana chahati yatana kari, puni puni, birahā āya jagāye
binu niṁdiyā nahiṁ hoya sapanavāṁ, tehi binu kita piya pāye
baurānī sī phirati chahūṁ dishi, piyā-milana manabhāye
kasa ‘kripālu’ kou dosha deu jaba, nija mana bhaye parāye
