(Raag Basant)
Laal Gopal Gulal Hamaari, Aankhin Mein Jin Daaro Ju.
Badan Chandrama Nain Chakori, In Antar Jin Paaro Ju. [1]
Gaavo Raag Basant Paraspar, Atapate Khel Nivaaro Ju.
Kumkum Rang Son Bhari Pichkaari, Taki Nainan Jin Maaro Ju. [2]
Bank Vilochan Dukhmochan Lochan, Bhari Drishti Nihaaro Ju.
Nagri Nayak Sab Sukhdayak, Krishnadas Ko Taaro Ju. [3]
- Shri Krishnadas Ji
O Gopal, I beg you, refrain from sprinkling gulal into my eyes, for they are perpetually fixed upon your moon-like face like a chakora bird. Please do not create disturbance in it. [1]
O Krishna, please sing in Raga Basant, give up your mischievous acts, and don't aim at my eyes with the kumkum-filled water gun. [2]
O lotus-eyed Krishna! Please shower your sidelong glance of grace upon me which dispells all sorrows. O bestower of all the happiness, please pacify the agony of my separation. [3]
