shyāmasundara soṁ karike pyāra, rahī nahiṁ katahūṁ kī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A gopī says to another, “Oh friend! I am totally ruined in loving Shyāmasundara. Let me tell you about what happened one day. The dawn was yet to break when that naughty Shyāmasundara knocked at my door. I asked, ‘Who is knocking the door?’ He said, ‘A guest from your mother’s home is calling you out.’ I opened the door and fluttered my glance all around to see who it was. Then He said, ‘The guest is sitting in My home.’ Believing Him, I set off with Him to His house. On the way, He garlanded my neck with His arm, calling me ‘Beloved!’ Enraptured by His words and touch and captivated by His charm, I unwillingly lost my ‘everything’ to Him.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, the gopī adds, “Oh friend! Now to whom can I relate this adulterous love of mine?”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
shyāmasundara soṁ karike pyāra, rahī nahiṁ katahūṁ kī
ika dina kī bāta kahūṁ sajanī,
kachhu shesha rahī jaba hī rajanī,
naṭakhaṭa khaṭakāya kivāra, rahī nahiṁ katahūṁ kī
bolī ‘khaṭakāya kapāṭa kauna?’
kaha kānha ‘āya mehamāna bhauna,
tere maike ko koū pukāra’, rahī nahiṁ katahūṁ kī
hauṁ jhāṁkyoṁ bāhara kholi dwāra,
taba kaha ‘tehi nija ghara diya biṭhāra’
chalī sāṁchī māni tehi dwāra, rahī nahiṁ katahūṁ kī
maga kahi ‘pyārī’ gara bāṁha ḍāra,
barabasa sarabasa gai hamahuṁ hāra,
kahūṁ kāsoṁ ‘kripālu’ piya jāra, rahī nahiṁ katahūṁ kī
