sunī sakhi! jā dina te piya baina
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A virahiṇī says, “Oh sakhi! Since the day I heard beloved Shyāmasundara’s sweeter than the sweetest words, my mind has not been at peace even in a dream by any means whatsoever. I shed tears all day and writhe in the pain of separation all night. ‘You are dearer to Me than life’ – these words of the Beloved have become impossible to be forgotten even for a moment. Again, how can our eyes, thirsty since the time immemorial, forget the love-laden ogles of Shyāmasundara’s eyes?” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, “The ears want to hear only Shyāmasundara’s words and the eyes crave to see merely His love-laden looks.”

sunī sakhi! jā dina te piya baina
tā dina te sakhi! ekahuṁ pala kahaṁ, parata na sapanehuṁ chaina
saba dina aṁsuvana-māla pirovati, rovati sigarī raina
‘tū prānana-pyārī’, yaha dhuni sakhi!, ika palahūṁ bisarai na
bhūli sakata ina nainana puni kata, una nainana ko saina
baina ‘kripālu’ sunana chaha shravanana, saina lakhana chaha naina
