Hamason Kahata Kaun Ki Baten
( refrain ) hamasoṅ kahata kaun ki bāteṅ suni ūdhau,
ham samujhata nāhiṅ, phir puchati hai tāteṅ
Refrain: Who are you describing to us? Listen, O Udhau, we don't understand you. This is why we are asking you to explain.
ko nṛpa bhayo kaṁsa kina māryo ko vasudayo
suta āhi yahāṅ hamāre parama manohara,
jijatu haiṅ mukha cāhi
Who became the king of Mathura? Who slayed the evil king Kamsa? Who is the son of Vasudeva? Here belongs our most charming one as we live by only looking at His face.
dinaprati jāta sahaja gocārana gopa sakhā
hai lai saṅga bāsara gata rajanīmukha āota,
karata naina gati paṅga
Every day, he strolls out grazing the cattle taking the cowherd boys with Him. In the evening time, when the day is almost over, he comes home and our eyes are stilled as we behold Him.
ko byāpaka pūrana avināsī,
ko bidhi beda apāra sūra bṛthā bakavāda karata hau,
yā braja nandakumāra
Who is this Omnipresent, All-Pervading, Eternal, and Undefeatable One? Who is described endlessly by Lord Brahma in the Vedic literatures? Sura Dasa is saying to all, "In vain, you are saying such senseless things, because for here in Braja, He is the dear of Nanda Maharaja."
