apanāpana rakhanā, mere ghanashyāma
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh My Shyāmasundara! Protecting Your promise of being causelessly merciful, please continue considering me as Your own forever. The only thing I desire is to constantly repeat Your names with my tongue. Oh Shyāmasundara! Oh Vṛishabhānunandinī! Please dwell in my heart eternally with Your arms around each other’s neck. I wish to always rock both of You in my heart in the swing of various innermost feelings; to present You the necklaces of tears and thus make You my very own forever. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Making me Yours forever somehow, please do fulfil this dream of mine.”

apanāpana rakhanā, mere ghanashyāma
ghad̤ī-ghad̤ī pala-pala nāma tihāro, raṭe merī rasanā mere ghanashyāma
lalī-lāla dou dai garabāhīṁ, hamāre hiye basanā, mere ghanashyāma
bhāva-hiṁḍore ḍāri hiye meṁ, jhulāvūṁ nita jhulanā, mere ghanashyāma
dai upahāra hāra aṁsuvana ko, banā lūṁ tujhe apanā, mere ghanashyāma
kaisehuṁ kari ‘kripālu’ prabhu apano, puravo mama sapanā, mere ghanashyāma
