This is a beautiful 4 line composition originally sung and popularized as a classical piece by Shri Shri Pandit Jasraj ji.

All the composition says is:

Oh look at this wonder! Shyama (Radha) by constantly repeating the name of Shyam (Krishna) has become Krishna herself.
She goes around in this state, asking her own Gopi friends as to the whereabouts of Radha (something Krishna would do)
She wanders the streets, forests and homes of Braj, calling out Radhe Radhe (just like Krishna would do)
At this wondrous sight, Radha's Gopika friends are awestruck and think it better to stay quiet than answer Radha's strange query - where is Radha?!

This piece is full of Radha's pain at her separation from Krishna, so much so that in constant remembrance of her beloved, she herself becomes the beloved. And then comes Krishna's pain, when Radha becomes Krishna and, in this state, pines for Radha.
