Radha's Dance at Vrindavan (Hindi-Awadhi Poem)

Original:

Raadhaaji naachat brindaaban.

Pag thirkat hain baajat ghunghroo,

chhanan chhanan chhan chhanan chhanan.

Taakat khag-mrig gop-gopikaa

chhaadi sakal jag ke bandhan.

Bhooli adhar dhar murali vilokat

vismit chakit bhramit nand-nandan.

Brindaaban kee kunj galin maa

jhar jhar jharat amee-ras-ghan.

Translation:

Sri Radha is dancing in Vrindavan.

Her feet are moving and anklebells jingling -

chhanan chhanan chhan chhanan chhanan.

All birds and animals and gopas and gopis

are viewing the dance casting aside

all bonds of the world.

Even the son of Nanda is so amazed and bewildered

that the flute on his lips he has forgotten to blow.

In the gardens and streets of Vrindavan indeed,

the cloud of nectar is pouring thick and fast !!
