(Raag Jhinjhoti)
Mohi Mati Rokai Ri Tu, Eri Braj Naagari.
Roop Ki Nidhan Hai Tu, Gunan Ki Khan Hai Tu,
Teri Sam Kaun Aaj, Tero Bado Bhaag Ri. [1]
Kahai To Main Nrity Karoon, Bansuri Mein Raag Bharoon,
Kanharo Kidaro Bhairon, Sorath Bihag Ri.
Tu To Sada Upkaari, Hit Ki Karanhaari,
Aaj Narayan Moson, Kyon Raakhai Tu Laag Ri. [2]
- Shri Narayan Swami, Braj Vihar, Sambhram-Manalila (11)
As Shri Krishna reaches the entrance of the kunja to pacify the sulking Shri Radha, a sakhi of Sri Radha stops Him. With folded hands and a yearning heart, Krishna pleads:
O Braj Nagari, my dear sakhi, let me pass—do not stop me from beholding my Priyaji.
You are an ocean of beauty and a treasury of divine virtues—who can compare to your fortune today? [1]
Shall I dance if you command? Shall I please your heart with the melodies of my flute?
Bhairav, Kanharo, Kedaro, Sorath, and Bihag—I shall play them all for you.
You are ever merciful, ever kind—
Then why, O sakhi, do you stand as an obstacle before me today? [2]
