Rang chhirke Kunj Bihari
Holi colours — Kunj Bihari
Lyrics
Tek
Kunj Bihari sprays colour, drenching my sari. He moves like a bee, drawing the pichkari; he challenges all the sakhis and jumps into the middle of the circle.
Rang chhirke Kunj Bihari
Bhije meri saari
The friends catch Mohan and throw colours on him; they smear dry abir on his face — Banwari enchanting from head to toe. Among the sakhis he plays Phag, tearing cholis in play; lovable Kanha smears colour on them and teases the young ones.
Pad
He laughs and ignores our pleas, smudging cheeks. Hari Charan says Shyam is lost in shringara rasa; Vrishbhanu’s daughter enjoys that rasa.
Chhirke rang phir jaise bhaura
Aakar khinchat pichkaari
Lalkaarat maarat sab sakhiyan
Vai to kood e ugol majhaari
Bhije meri saari
Dheli no Mohan ko sakhiyan
Har har rang ke gulaari
Jhura bir malat mukhu par
Nakh sikh lalit Banwaari
Bhije meri saari
Khelat phaag madhya sakhiyan ke
Dhe dhe choliya phaari
Rasiya Kaanha malat dou joban
Naya joban dote bigaari
Bhije meri saari
Ha ha karate k nahin maanat
Malat kapol Bihari
Dwij Hari Charan Shyaam ras maate ho
Ras le Vrishbhaanu dulaari
Bhije meri saari
