Mohana Pyare Ho Kanhaiya
mohana pyāre ho kanhaiyā,
nāma anupama bhāve nanda ke kāla, yaśodā dulāla,
saba koī jana gāve, kanhaiyā
My beloved Kanhaiya who is so enchanting, I like Your beautiful name so much. All the village-people sing of You Kanhaiya, the dear child of Nanda and Ya soda.
rādhā ramaṇa, madana-mohana prabhu,
yamunā pulina bihārī kṛṣṇa govinda, muralī manohara,
govardhana giradhārī
You are the lover of Radha, You enchant even Cupid, You enjoy pastimes while roaming around the Yamuna, Krsna, Govinda! You play enchanting melodies on the flute, and You lifted Govardhana Hill
agha, baka, pūtanā,
kaṁsa ke nāśaka, rādhā kuṇḍa taṭa vanavārī braja-jana rañjana gopī pramodana, cañcala naṭana murārī
You destroyed Aghasura, Bakasura, Putana, and Kamsa, You wander on the banks of Radha-kunda, You delight the residents of Vraja and especially the gopis, and hey Murari! You are such a restive dancer.
madhura nāma avatāra tumhāre,
dīna janana ādhāra nāma rūpa me bheda na koī,
kije kṛpā murāra
Your sweet name is Your incarnation and the shelter of the fallen There is no difference between Yourself and Your name, please be merciful!
aisā aura nahī pāpījana,
jaisā maiṅ hūṅ nātha nijajana śaraṇa deho karuṇāmaya,
kije mohī sanātha
There is no other sinner like me, hey Natha! Please be merciful and give me shelter
