ho rasiyā! kasa surati bisārī?
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
(A gopī’s lamentation in painful separation from Shyāmasundara.) Oh crest-jewel of the rasikas, Shyāmasundara! Why have You forgotten me? I have taken shelter in Your lotus-feet, abandoning all proprieties of the world and the lineage, as well as the duties enjoined in the Vedas. Ceaseless waiting for You has made my eyes stony and I have become exhausted after searching for You in each and every forest unsuccessfully. Oh my Beloved! I spend sleepless nights, counting stars, and even a moment seems to me like an aeon. Oh stone-hearted Shyāmasundara! Why have You taken a vow to make me suffer so after stealing my heart from me? Oh my cruel Beloved! You are letting me neither live nor die. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Shyāmasundara has forsaken me for Kubjā whom He has graced with a place in His heart.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
ho rasiyā! kasa surati bisārī?
loka, veda, kula kāni āni saba, taji āī piya sharaṇa tihārī
maga johata aṁkhiyāṁ patharāīṁ, hārī heri bipina banavārī
tāre ginata jāta saba yāmini, palaka eka yuga sama laga bhārī
nirmohī! kasa mohiṁ mohi aba, tad̤apāvata bepīra murārī
jiyana na deta, leta nahi prānahuṁ, duhūṁ bhāṁti ati bipati hamārī
aba ‘kripālu’ mo kahaṁ taji mādhava, kūbari bari, nija kari, ura dhārī
