Hari darshan ki pyasi akhiyaan hari darshan ki pyasi

akhiyan hari darshan ki ……
kahoo ke mana ki ko jaanat logan ke man haasi
surdas prabhu tumhare daras bin leho karvat kashi ankhiyaan
hari darshan ki pyasi hari darshan ki……..
Meaning-
Gopis after Krishnas departure from Gokul become very sad and at this they say – our eyes are thirsty for a glance of lord . they want to see lotus eyes and so they remain sad each day. He has a mark of saffron on forehead and who wears the necklace of pearl and who is the resident of Vrindavan, binding us in the bond of love has left like a straw and it seems that he has fastened us with the rope around our neck . The Gopis say who knows the inside of anyone’s mind , people just keep on laughing in their mind about one’s situation .Surdas ji says that the gopi’s are saying that oh lord without your presence Kashi has also become restless ….then what about us ?
Abki maadhava mohi ubaar
Magan hau bhava ambunidhi mein kripa sindhu murar
Neer ati gambhir maaya lobh lahe tarang
Liye jaat agadh jal mein gahe grah anang
Kaam krodh samet trishna pavan ati jhakjhor
Nahi chitvan det tiya suta naam nauka ore
meen indriya atihi kaatat mot agh sir bhar
Pag na it ut dharan paavat urajhi moh sewar
Thakyo jaani behal bihwal sunhu karuna mool
Shyam bhuj gahi kadhi daaryo sur braj ke kool
Meaning –
Oh Madhava Please drive me off this time .
Oh Ocean of mercy Murari ! I am lost in this “treasure of water ” like world.
Here there is the illusion which is extreme like lots of water in which the greed raises time to time like the waves of that water .This wave takes me away in the illusion of deep water where the lust in the form of alligator is ready to ingulf .
The wind of lust and anger together with greed is very strong .The wife and son does not let me look at the lord’s name in the form of fleet that can save me from this ocean of illusion .
The senses in the form of fish bite me lot and I have a heavy burden of sin due to which I cant put my legs anywhere and besides I have been trapped in this fascination in the form of sea weeds .
Thinking that I am tired , in bad condition and fraught .O cause of mercy Listen to me .
Surdas ji says Oh dear one of Braj ,Shyam !take me out of this ocean by carrying my arms.
Bhajhoo re man
Bhajahoon re man sri nand nandan abhaya charan arvind hey
Durlabh manav janam satsange tar jaave bhav sindh re

Biphale sevenu kripan durjan chapal sab sukh lagi re…
Sravan Kirtan Smaran Vandan Paadsevan Dasya re
Poojan Sakhijan Atmanivedan , Govind Das abhilashi re…

Meaning of this song –
O mind just worship the lotus feet of the son of Nanda, which make one fearless. Having obtained this rare human birth, cross over this ocean of worldly existence through the association of saintly persons.
Both in the day and at night I remain sleepless, suffering the pains of the heat and cold, the wind and the rain. For a fraction of flickering happiness I have uselessly served wicked and miserly men.
It is the desire and great longing of Govinda Dasa to engage himself in the nine processes of bhakti, namely hearing the glories of Lord Hari and chanting those glories, constantly remembering Him and offering prayers to Him, serving the Lord’s lotus feet, serving the Supreme Lord as a servant, worshiping Him with flowers and incense and so forth, serving Him as a friend, and completely offering the Lord one’s very self.
Sandeso devaki so kahiyo
Sandeso devaki so kahiyo
Hau to dhai tihare sut ki maya karat nit rahiyo
Yadapi tev tum jaanat unki tau mohi kahi aave
Prat hot mero laal ladaiti maakhan roti bhaave
Tel ubatano aru tato jal tahi dekhi bhagi jaave
Joi joi mangat soi soi deti kram kram kari nahave
Sur pathik suni mohe rain din bado rahat dar soch
Mero alak ladaito mohan hwaihe karat sankoch
Meaning – Here Surdas ji have illustrared the moment when udhavji came to Yashoda ji in gokul and Yashoda ji expressed all his love for her beloved son and said these words to udhav ji to be sent as message to Dewaki ji in Mathura . Yashoda ji says ..Say my this message to Dewaki I am a maid of your son so I keep on fascinating for him . Though you know his obstinacy yet I speak to you Just as it becomes morning my dear likes to eat butter and bread . Seeing the oil , unction and water he just runs away whatever he wants ,I give him then gradually takes bath . Surdas ji says that yashoda ji says to udhava ji , oh passanger listen !I get afraid day and night thinking that my most darling Mohan must be hesitating saying all this to Devaki ji .
Suni ri maine nirbal ke balram
suni ri maine nirbal ke balram
pichhali saakh dharun santan ki ade sawaren kaam
jab lag gaja bal aapno bartyo nek saryo tah kaam
nirbal hoi balram pukaro aayen aadhe naam
drupad suta nirbal bhai ta din taj aayen nij dhaam
duhshashan ki bhuja thakit bhai basan roop bhayen shyam
ap-bal tap-bal aur bahu-bal chautha bal hai bal-dam
sur kishor kripa se sab bal haare ko hari naam
Meaning –
Surdas ji says that I have heard that the power of weak is Ram .
If I take an account of the saints in the past He has made all aggravated tasks .Till the gajraaj used up his strength he wasnt able to do anything but as he got weak and called up Ram ,the Lord reached there so fast that even gajraj had just narrated half of Lord’s name .The day when daughter of Drupad got weak ,He came leaving his abode .He took the form of saaree and the hands of Duhshashan got tired while winding it off .The power of enchanting , the power of penance and the power of arms and the fourth power is of lord .Surdas ji says all powers are due to grace of “Kishore” so those who have become loosers should only remember the name of “Hari”.

sur kroor is laayak nahi
kah lag karehu badhai
hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare

Nis din barsat nain humare

taki nainan jin maaro ju
Bank bilokan dukh mochan
Lochan bhari drishti niharo ju
naagari nagar bhav sagar se
Krishnadas ko taaro ju
