(Rag Vihag)
Sakhi Ri Braj Ko Basavo Niko.
Bachhada Gaay Charavat Van Mein, Kanah Saban Koti Kau. [1]
Vrindavan Mein Hot Kulahal, Garajat Sur Murali Kau.
Thade Lal Kadamb Ki Chhaiyya, Mangat Dan Dahi Kau. [2]
Upajat Hai Ati Prit Ur Antar Gavat Jas Hari Joo Kau.
Surdas Prabhu Mil Hai Giradhar, Yah Jivan Sabahi Kau. [3]
- Shri Surdas
O!, my dear Sakhi! Living in Braj is so nice.
Where Krishna, the leader of all, wanders in the forests with His cows and calves. [1]
When He plays His flute all the residents of Braj get excited.
He stands in the shade of the Kadamba trees and demand taxes of yogurt from all who pass by! [2]
When one sings of these pastimes of Sri Hari, the love for Him arises in the heart. Shri Surdas Ji now says, "He remains forever with Sri Giridhara, Krishna the Upholder the Sri Giriraj Ji mountain, He wishes, may everyone achieve Him so that their lives may have meaning". [3]
