Dou Mili Jhulein Aaj Hindore - Shri Rasik Govind

Dou Mili Jhulein Aaj Hindore - Shri Rasik Govind

Dou Mili Jhoolain Aaj Hindorain.
Jhoolain Hi Phoolain, Hansi Chitavat Chitkaun Chaurain.
Saghan Kunj Jamuna Vahi Aai, Taise Hi Bolat Suk Pik Morain. [1]
Neelambar Pitambar Phar Harain, Taise Hi Damini Ghan Ghorain.
Gaur Shyam Abhiram Ki Lakhi Chhavi, ‘Rasik Govind’ Sakhi Trn Torain. [2]

- Shri Rasik Govind

Today, the Divine Couple, Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa, is swinging together upon the swing (hiṃḍorā). As They sway, They blossom with immense joy, stealing each other’s hearts with tender smiles and longing glances. Near the dense groves, the sacred Yamunā flows, while parrots, cuckoos, and peacocks call out in melodious harmony. [1]

On one side, the blue garments of Śrī Priyā Jī and the yellow garments of Śrī Śyāmasundara flutter in the breeze, while on the other, lightning flashes amidst dense, dark clouds. Beholding this enchanting vision of the Fair and the Dark Couple, the sakhī, Rasika Govinda, breaks a blade of grass to ward off the evil eye, completely sacrificing Himself to Them. [2]
