Krishna Bhajan by Surdas, sung by Ashwini Bhide
He gave me his heart and stole mine. Surdas (the lady in this bhajan) says, after taking my heart, all that I had, Prabhu Krishna smiled and sped away on his chariot.
This is a Krishna bhajan by Surdas, sung by eminent Classical Indian singer Ashwini Bhide Deshpande
सुंदर सदन सुख सदन श्याम को निरख नयन मन ठाग्यो
सुंदर सदन सुख सदन श्याम को
हौं ठाड़ी वीथिन वै निकस्यो उठत झरोखा घाट्वो
लालन इक चतुराई कीनी गेंद उछार गगन मिस्कायो
बैरन लाज भई री मोको, हौं गंवार मुख ढाक्यो
सुंदर सदन सुख सदन श्याम को
चितवन दे कछु कर गयो मो पै, चढ्यो रहत ये चित चाख्यो
सूरदास प्रभु सर्बस लै के हंसत हंसत रथ हांक्यो
सुंदर सदन सुख सदन श्याम को निरख नयन मन ठाग्यो
सुंदर सदन सुख सदन श्याम को
English transliteration of Surdas’s Krishna bhajan lyrics
Sundar badan sukha sadan shyam ko nirakh nayan mana thagyo
Hou thadi veethin mein, nikasyo uthat jharoka he ghaatyo
Laalan ek chaturaayi kini gend uchar gagan miskayo
Bairan laaj bhai ri moko hou gavaar mukh dhaakyo
Chitvan de kachu kar gayo mope, chadyo rahat hai chit ye chakyo
Surdas prabhu sarbas laikey hasat hasat rath haakyo
Meaning of Surdas’s Krishna bhajan
This devotee says that she was standing inside her home when the wind blew open a window overlooking the street outside and she caught a glimpse of Krishna – who is all attractive and a treasure of bliss. Catching his glimpse her mind was transfixed.
Clever Krishna threw a ball up in the sky, but I quickly covered my face in shyness. He gave me his heart and stole mine. Surdas (the lady in this bhajan) says, after taking my heart, all that I had, Prabhu Krishna smiled and sped away on his chariot.
