Opening Doha

बंशी शोभित कर मधुर ।
नील जलद तनु श्यामल ॥

अरुण अधर जनु बिंब फल ।
नयन कमल अभिराम ॥

पूर्णेन्दु अरविंद मुख ।
पीताम्बर शुभ सजल ॥

जय मनमोहन मदन छवि ।
कृष्णचन्द्र महाराज ॥

13 - 16

मधुवन जलत अगिनि जब ज्वाला ।
भये शीतल लखताहि नंदलाला ॥13॥

सुरपति जब ब्रज चढ़्यो रिसाई ।
मूसर धार बारि बरसाई ॥14॥

लागत लागत ब्रिज चह बहायो ।
गोवर्धन नख धरि बचायो ॥15॥

लखि यशोदा मन भ्रम अधिकाई ।
मुख मोह चौद भुवन दिखाई

17 - 20

दुष्ट कंस अति उद्धम मचायो ।
कोटि कमल कहा फूल मंगायो ॥17॥

नाथि कैयहि तब तुम लीन्हे ।
चरण चिन्ह दे निर्भय कीन्हे ॥18॥

करि गोपिन संग रास बिलासा ।
सब की पूरण करी अभिलाषा ॥19॥

भौमासुर मुर दैत्य सहारी ।
लाये षट्दश सहस कुमारी ॥23॥

दीई भीनहि त्रिण चिरि सहारा ।
जरासिंधु राक्षस कहं मारा

दीन सुदामा के दुःख तार्यो ।
तंडुल तिन मुठी मुख दार्यो ॥26॥

प्रेम के साग विदुर घर मांगे ।
दुर्योधन के मेवा त्यागे ॥27॥

लखि प्रेम की महिमा भारी ।
नौमी श्याम दीनन हितकारी

29 - 32

भारत में पार्थ रथ हांके ।
लिये चक्र कर नहीं बल थाके ॥29॥

निज गीता के ज्ञान सुनाई ।
भगतन हृदय सुधा बरसाई ॥30॥

मीरा थी ऐसी मतवाली ।
विष पी गई बजाकर ताली ॥31॥

राणा भेजा सांप पिटारी ।
शालिग्राम बने बनवारी

33 - 36

निज माया तुम विधिहीन दिखायो ।
उर ते संशय सकल मिटायो ॥33॥

तव शत निंदा करी तत्काला ।
जीवन मुक्त भयो शिशुपाला ॥34॥

बोलो कृष्ण कन्हैया की जय

Closing Doha

यह चालीसा कृष्ण का पाठ करे उर धारी ।
अष्ट सिद्धि नव निधि फल लहे पदार्थ चारी ॥
