देखु सखि! सावन मास बहार।

देखु सखि! सावन मास बहार।
नवल निकुंज-मंजु बिच झूलत, नवल युगल सरकार।
पकरे दोउ, इक-इक कर डोरिन, इक-इक कर गर डार।
दोउ देँ झोँटे झूमि-झूमि झुक‌ि, एकहिं एक निहार।
फहरत नील पीत पट अंचल, चंचल लट घुँघरार।
गावत राग मलार दुहुँन मिलि, अलि कर स्वर-विस्तार।
सखिन बजावति बीन वेनु कोउ, सब प्रवीन इक-सार।
लखि ‘कृपालु’ कह ‘दोउ मम ठाकुर, जय हो जय बलिहार’॥


All glories to thee, O my Spiritual Master!

जयति जय, जय सद्गुरु महाराज ।
छके युगल रस रास सरस जनु, मूर्तिमान रसराज ।
बिनु कारण करुणाकर जाकर, अस स्वभाव भल भ्राज ।
बरबस पतितन देत प्रेमरस, अस रसिकन सरताज ।
डूबत आपु डुबावत जन कहँ, प्रेमसिन्धु ब्रजराज ।
हौं 'कृपालु' गुरू चरण शरण गहि, भयो धन्य जग आज ॥

All glories to thee, O my Spiritual Master!
You always relish the sweet nectar of the divine Maharaas leela of Radha Krishna. You yourself are the embodiment of divine love.
You are causelessly merciful,which is your inherent nature.
Freely and forcefully, you distribute divine love even to the most fallen of souls. You are such an exalted rasik Saint.
You immerse yourself in divine bliss, and also drench your devotees in that nectar. You are such an ocean of divine love .
Says Shree ‘Kripalu’, “Having found the shelter of such a merciful master’s lotus feet, I have become the most blessed soul in this world.”

हमें तो, एक तिहारी आस [ O Lord! You are my one and only hope.]


हमें तो, एक तिहारी आस |
काहू के काहू को बल हरि, हमहिं तुमहिं विस्वास |
कोउ कर योग यज्ञ दानादिक, कोउ कर जप उपवास |
कोउ कर चारिधाम तिरथ अरु, कोउ कर काशीवास |
कोउ कर आस स्वर्ग अपवर्गहिं, कोउ बैकुण्ठ विलास |
हम 'कृपालु' गोपाल! तिहारिहीं, करत आस बनि दास ||
Meaning:
O Lord! You are my one and only hope. In this world, different people rely on different means but I trust only you. There are some who practice austerities, sacrifices, alms-givings, etc and some go for chanting, fasting, etc. Some go on the pilgrimage of all the four shrines and some reside in Kashi. Some desire for heaven and liberation, while some for the opulence of Vaikunth. But, Shree Kripaluji says that I long only for You (Gopal), like a humble servant.

O Krishna, please give in [Tum Hi Maan Lo Haar]

An incredible 1987 lecture by Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj on self-written keertan titled "Tum Hi Maan Lo Haar".  A must-watch!
In this keertan Shree Maharajji says that a rasik saint tells his beloved Lord, O Shyamsundar, you be the one to accept defeat."  He further says that the sentence implies that someone is fighting with Shree krishna and neither party is losing.  So a third party says, "O Shyamsundar, you be the one to accept defeat."  This statement is asking Shree Krishna to accept defeat which is not right because there is no personality that Shree Krishna cannot defeat.  Who can fight with God?  But here both parties look equal in strength because neither party is losing.  So he tells one party, "You accept defeat."  Now which party is fighting against Shree Krishna, and what will happen at the end?
Watch the English Subtitled full lecture to know.
