Aarti Kunj Bihari Ki Lyrics in Hindi
आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
गले में बैजंती माला,
बजावै मुरली मधुर बाला ।
श्रवण में कुण्डल झलकाला,
नंद के आनंद नंदलाला ।
गगन सम अंग कांति काली,
राधिका चमक रही आली ।
लतन में ठाढ़े बनमाली
भ्रमर सी अलक,
कस्तूरी तिलक,
चंद्र सी झलक,
ललित छवि श्यामा प्यारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
कनकमय मोर मुकुट बिलसै,
देवता दरसन को तरसैं ।
गगन सों सुमन रासि बरसै ।
बजे मुरचंग,
मधुर मिरदंग,
ग्वालिन संग,
अतुल रति गोप कुमारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की ॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
जहां ते प्रकट भई गंगा,
सकल मन हारिणि श्री गंगा ।
स्मरन ते होत मोह भंगा
बसी शिव सीस,
जटा के बीच,
हरै अघ कीच,
चरन छवि श्रीबनवारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की ॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
चमकती उज्ज्वल तट रेनू,
बज रही वृंदावन बेनू ।
चहुं दिसि गोपि ग्वाल धेनू
हंसत मृदु मंद,
चांदनी चंद,
कटत भव फंद,
टेर सुन दीन दुखारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की ॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
Aarti Kunj Bihari Ki Lyrics in English
(Praise to Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari)
Aarti to Kunja Bihari,
To Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari.
Around His neck is the Vaijayanti garland,
Sweet child, playing the melodious flute.
Earrings glisten upon His ears,
He is Nanda’s delight, beloved Nandalala.
His body shines dark as the clouds in the sky,
Beside Him stands the radiant Radhika.
In the creepers, the forest dweller stands,
With locks like bumblebees,
A musk tilak on His forehead,
Moon-like radiance,
Charming beauty of the dear Shyama.
Praise to Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari.
Aarti to Kunja Bihari,
To Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari.
Golden peacock crown shining bright,
Even the gods long for His darshan.
From the heavens, flowers shower down.
Cymbals resound,
Sweet mridang plays,
With the milkmaids,
Incomparable joy of the Gopi maidens.
Praise to Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari.
Aarti to Kunja Bihari,
To Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari.
From where the holy Ganga emerged,
The blessed Ganga that takes away all sorrows.
By remembering Her, delusion is dispelled.
She dwells on Shiva’s head,
Amid His matted hair,
Washing away sins and dirt,
At the feet of the beautiful Banwari.
Praise to Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari.
Aarti to Kunja Bihari,
To Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari.
Shining bright is the sacred dust on the banks,
The flute plays sweetly in Vrindavan.
All around are Gopis, cowherds, and cows.
With gentle smiles,
Moonlit night,
Cutting the bonds of worldly life,
Hearing the call of the sorrowful and humble.
Praise to Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari.
Aarti to Kunja Bihari,
To Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari.
