Shri Krishna charan ki balihari

Shri Krishna charan ki balihari

I offer myself at Shri Krishna’s feet

Maathe so chandan atar sugandhan

Jag bandan hain Banwaari

Topi shir sohe sab jag mohe

Sandal and perfume on his brow — the world bows to Banwari

Mohe rahi Brij ki naari

The crown on his head enchants Brij

His face mesmerizes all — everything of Gopal Lal is enchanting

Surati vishaal nirakhat nihaal

Gopaal Laal ki chhabi nyaari

Diamond at the throat, pan in the mouth — unique form

Kanthe bich hira mukh mein biraaja

He follows the cows in a tight dhoti, walking with grace

Bashiri Giridhaari

Peacock-feather crown, sideways glance most alluring

Gauvan ke paachhe kachhni kaachhe

Soft body, ankle-bells at his feet

Aachhe aavat karat aari

Pearl garland and shawl — dignified form of Nandlal

Shri mor mukut pitaambar sohe

He climbs the kadamb and teases the sakhis

Tirchhi chitvan ati pyaari

Flute of a span and a quarter in his hands

Aise prabhu taniya bare chikaniya

When he plays, the cowherd girls of Brij are lost

Paayan ghunghar jhanakaari

He played rasa in Brij and destroyed many demons

Motinke maala odhe dushaala

Nand Laal ki chhabi bhaari

Tehi chhan chadhe kadam ke oopar

Sab sakhiyan ko de gaari

Kar sava bilasat baans ke-murli

Tehi mein chhed bane chaari

Jab olhan par kahar kiye hai

Mohi rahi Brij ki gwaari

Ras ki khel kiye Brij bhitar

Asuran ekan ko maari
