(Refrain)

mero kānhā gulab ko phul

kiśori meri kusuma kalī

kānhā mero nandaju ko chonā

śrī rādhe vṛṣabhānu lalī

kiśori meri kusuma kalī

(2)

kānhā māńge mākhana lonā

rādhe bhāve misarī kī dalī

kiśori meri kusuma kalī

(3)

kānhā khele nandaju ke āńgana

rādhe khele rangīlī kī galī

kiśori meri kusuma kalī

vraja nidhi daraśana kī pyāsi

voh to naṭakaṭa gwāli gali

kiśori meri kusuma kalī

TRANSLATION

(Refrain) My Kanha (another name of Krsna) is the rose, while Kisori (another name of Srimati Radharani) is the bud of the flower.

1. My Kanha is son of Nanda Maharaja, while Sri Radhe is the beloved daughter of Maharaja Vrsabhanu.

2. Kanha always wants to take butter, while Radha enjoys sweets.

3. Krsna plays in the courtyard of Nanda Maharaja, while Radha plays in the meadows.

4. The entire community of Vraja is thirsty to see the naughty cowherd boy Krsna, and the beloved bud of the flower, Kisori Radhe.
