sunī sakhi! jā dina te mṛidu baina
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A virahinī says, “Oh sakhi! I have been absolutely unable to experience any peace even for a moment ever since the instant I heard beloved Shyāmasundara’s bewitching voice. The sound of the word ‘beloved’ in which He addressed me repeatedly was the destroyer of all sorrows and giver of supreme happiness. My ears are craving unceasingly to hear that heart-robbing sound again. I have exhausted all means to bring these ears round but they don’t understand anyhow.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “When even the voice of Shyāmasundara is full of such magic that you have become mad after it, what will be your condition when you see His infinitely lovely form with your eyes?”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
sunī sakhi! jā dina te mṛidu baina
tā dina te ekahuṁ chhina kahaṁ sakhi!, parata na kaisehuṁ chaina
vaha ‘pyārī pyārī’ kī dhuni sakhi!, dukha meṭana sukha-daina
soi manabhāvani dhuni ina kānana, sunana chahata dina-raina
hauṁ saba bidhi samujhāya thakī pai, kaisehuṁ ye samujhai na
jaba ‘kripālu’ asa gati bainana suni, taba kā gati lakhi naina
