The Mahabharata Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Krishna krishna hare krishna hare hare
Shri krishna govind hare murari
Hey nath narayan vasudeva
Ek maat swami sakha hamare
Hey nath narayan vasudeva
Bandi grah ke tum avtaari
Kahi janme kahi pale murari
Kisi ke jaaye kisi ke kahaye
Hai adbhut har baat tihari
Gokul mein chamke mathura ke tare
Hey nath narayan vasudeva
Shri krishna govind hare murari
Hey nath narayan vasudeva
Adhar mein banshi hriday mein radhe
Bat gaye dono mein aadhe aadhe
Hey radha nagar hey bhakt vatsal
Sadaiv bhakto ke kaam sadhe
Vahin gaye vahin gaye jaha gaye pukare
Hey nath narayan vasudeva




Radhe krishna radhe krishna
Radhe radhe krishna krishna
