* Khul Gaye Jail ke TaleJab janmain Shri Bhagwan jail darmyan murliya wale
khul gaye jail ke tale
Dewki ne pati ko jagaya tha sapne ka hal sunaya tha
le jao putra Yashoda ke karo hawale
khul gaye.........
Vasudev ji ki bedi tuti thi takdir Kans ki phuti thi
ho gaye mast sab so gaye pahare wale
khul gaye......
Vasudev ji chale agadi ko le kar ke Krishna Murari ko
pahunche Yamuna tat yamuna bhare ubare
khul gaye.....
Vasudev ji ne bhed na paya tha prabhu ji ne pair badhaya tha
phunche Yashoda ke nikat muraliya wale
khul gaye..........
Ghar ghar main batat badhai hai ham sabne khushiyan manai hai
pad gaye Kans raja ki jan ke lale
khul gaye jail ke tale
Jab janmain Shri Bhagwan jail darmayan muraliya wale
khul gaye jail ke tale
* Shyam chudi bechne aayaManihari ka bhesh banaya,
Shyam chudi bechne aaya
Chhaliya ka bhesh banaya,
Shyam chudi bechne aaya
Chhaliya ka bhesh banaya
Shyam chudi bechne aaya
Galiyon mein shor machaya,
Shyam chudi bechne aaya
Chhaliya ka bhesh banaya,
Chhaliya ka bhesh banaya
Radha ne suni Lalita se kahi
Mohan ko turant bulaya
Shyam chudi bechne aaya,
Chhaliya ka bhesh banaya
Chudi laal nahi pehnu
Chudi hari nahi pehnu
Mujhe Shyam rang hai bhaaya,
Shyam chudi bechne aaya
Chhaliya ka bhesh banaya,
Shyam chudi bechne aaya
Radha pehnan lagi
Shyam pehnane lage
Radha ne haath badaya,
Shyam chudi bechne aaya
Chhaliya ka bhesh banaya,
Shyam chudi bechne aaya
Radha kehne lagi
Tum toh chhaliya
Bade dheere se haath dabaya
Shyam chudi bechne aaya,
Chhaliya ka bhesh banaya
Chhaliya ka bhesh banaya,
Manihari ka bhesh banaya
Shyam chudi bechne aaya,
Chhaliya ka bhesh banaya
Chhaliya ka bhesh banaya,
Shyam chudi bechne aaya.
* Chadar lambi taan na soChadar lambi taan na so, Shyam japo Shyamjapo
Jiwan ki ghariya vyartha na kho, Shyam japo Shyam japo.
Duniya mein aake kya kiya, ghari bhar na prabhu ka naam liya
Vishayan de vich jindagi na kho, Shyam japo Shyam japo.
Shyam toh sukh ka saar hai, jiwan ka aadhar hai
Uske siwa marg na koo, Shyam japo Shyam japo
Bhakti mein manua dhyan dhar, ujraa ghar aabad kar
Agyan ka bande neend na so, Shyam japo Shyam japo
