nandalāla pyāre, yashudā-dulāre, nainoṁ ke tāre, karūṁ tihārī manuhāra

English meaning

‘Oh my beloved Nandalāla! Oh darling son of Yashodā! Oh Pupil of my eyes! I entreat You for Your mercy. I have come to You yearning for Your love. Your unutterably beautiful form has enslaved my heart. I know no form of penance, am absolutely ignorant about japa (repetition of any name of God), and do not comprehend any of Your secrets as well. I am entirely dependent on Your mercy. Oh Dearest! Please do not break this strong hope of mine; do not destroy my longing to meet You. Oh Giridhārī! Oh Banawārī! Oh Kṛishṇa Murārī! Listen to the humble prayer of this destitute. I cannot have a moment’s peace without seeing You. My eyes aching to see You shed rivulets of tears day and night. Oh! Oh! Oh Shyāmasundara! You have woven some kind of a magical spell over me; You have forced upon me this never-ending wailing. I have been defeated in every way. Oh Beloved! Tell me, how can I live without You? How can I bear the unbearable pangs of Your separation? Oh Heartless Shyāmasundara! What have You done to me?’ Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī adds, ‘However, I sacrifice myself repeatedly on this precious gift of love, given by You.’
