Saras Kishori, vayas ki thorī, rati ras borī, keejai kripā kī kor.
(A devotee, longing for the love of Radha Rani, says:) O my ever-youthful sweet and loving Radhey! O form of intimate Divine Bliss, my Gracious Radhey! Please look at me with a kind glance of your causeless grace.
Sādhan-heen deen maiṇ Rādhe, tum karuṇāmai prem-agādhē.
O Radhey! I am a helpless, humble and fallen soul, devoid of devotion and dedication, and You are the boundless Ocean of kindness and Divine love.
Kāke dwāre, jāy pukāre, kaun nihāre, deen dukhī kī or.
O Radhey! Where shall I go and to who shall I tell the tale of my distress? Who would look to this humble and devoid soul except You (as You are my only hope and refuge)?
Karat aghan nahiṇ neku aghāūṁ, bharat udar jyaūṁ shūkar dhāvūṁ.
I am such an ungrateful person (who has overlooked all of Your Grace and kindness and) who is still shamelessly committing sins all the time and is wandering in the world trying to fulfill the desires of his physical senses like a pig enjoying the garbage.
Kari barjorī, lakhī nij orī, tum binu morī, kaun sudhāre dor.
So, O Radhey! Looking to Your unconditional kindness, please forcibly make me Your own. (Only You can do this.) Without You, there is no one Who could come to rescue me.
Bhalo-buro jaiso hūṁ tihāro, tum binu kou na hitū hamāro.
Whether I am good or bad, I am Yours, O Radhey! You are the only one who cares for me.
Bhānudulārī, sudhi lo hamārī, sharaṇ tihārī, hauṁ patitan siramor.
Please look at me with a kind glance of Your causeless Grace. (Although) I have committed endless sins (still I am Yours. Without You, I see no one in the world who could love me).
Gopī-prem ki bhikṣhā dījai, kaisehūṁ mohiṇ apnī kari leejai.
O Raseshwari Radhey! Please give me the alms of gopi bhao (so I can be fortunate enough to be in Your service forever). O Radhey! By any means, please make me Your own.
Tav gun gāvat, divas bitāvat, drig jhari lāvat, hvai hauṁ prem vibhor.
With tears of love in my eyes and singing and remembering Your loving virtues day and night, I want to completely drown myself in Your love.
Pāy tihāro prem Kishorī!, chhake premras Braj kī khorī.
O Kishori Radhey! Having received Your Divine love with Your Grace, and satiated in Your loving Bliss, I would then be anonymously wandering in the lanes of Braj.
Gati gajgāmini, chhabi abhirāminī, lakhi nij Swāminī, bane ‘Kripalu’ chakor.
Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj says, “O Beauty of the Divine beauty, my beloved Radhey! When will that day come that while seeing my Swamini, My eyes will be ceaselessly looking to the ever-new and ever-increasing beauty of my ever-loving Radhey like a chakor.”
Additional Kirtan chanted from 46:51
Kripā karu, kripā karu, kripā karu Rādhe. Kripā kā hī tanu torā kripā karu Rādhe.
(A devotee says:) O Radhey, please Grace me. Your entire personality is the form of Grace.
Maiṇ to hūṁ patit ati, kripā karu Rādhe. Bhala hūṁ burā hūṁ jo hūṁ, kripā karu Rādhe.
I am an extremely fallen soul. O Radhey, good or bad, whatever I am, I am looking for Your Grace.
Asharaṇ sharaṇ tū, kripā karu Rādhe. Sharaṇ sharaṇ torī, kripā karu Rādhe.
O Radhey, You are the refuge of destitutes. I have come to Your refuge. Please Grace me.
Sādhan bal nahiṁ, kripā karu Rādhe. Nyāy na chāhahuṁ, kripā karu Rādhe.
O Radhey, my devotion is very weak. Please do not judge me on the strength of my devotion. I want Your Grace.
More kou bal nahiṁ, kripā karu Rādhe. Hauṁ tohi jāṇūṁ nahiṁ, kripā karu Rādhe.
O Radhey, I have no other place to go and I do not know how to find You.
Māyā ne satāyā ati, kripā karu Rādhe. Jag rāg chhūṭe nahiṁ, kripā karu Rādhe.
I am suffering because of the influence of maya. O Radhey. I am unable to detach myself from the worldly attachments.
Bhaṭakat thaki gayo, kripā karu Rādhe. Ber bhaee ab to, kripā karu Rādhe.
I am now completely exhausted wandering in the illusions of the world. I have been waiting for You for so long. O Radhey, Please Grace me now.
Apnī or lakhū, kripā karu Rādhe. Karni na lakhū morī, kripā karu Rādhe.
(Radhey, please think of Your gracious nature. Please do not look to my (bad) actions.
Tū hī merī Swāminī, kripā karu Rādhe. Tū hī hai ‘Kripalu’ ik, kripā karu Rādhe.
Kripalu Mahaprabhuji says in the words of a devotee O Radhey. You are the supreme Goddess of my heart and soul. You are the only one Who is so gracious. Please Grace me.
