Govardhan Aarti Lyrics
श्री गोवर्धन महाराज, ओ महाराज,तेरे माथे मुकुट विराज रहेओ।
तोपे पान चढ़े तोपे फूल चढ़े,तोपे चढ़े दूध की धार।
तेरे माथे मुकुट विराज रहेओ।
तेरी सात कोस की परिकम्मा,चकलेश्वर है विश्राम।
तेरे माथे मुकुट विराज रहेओ।
तेरे गले में कण्ठा साज रहेओ,ठोड़ी पे हीरा लाल।
तेरे माथे मुकुट विराज रहेओ।
तेरे कानन कुण्डल चमक रहेओ,तेरी झाँकी बनी विशाल।
तेरे माथे मुकुट विराज रहेओ।
गिरिराज धरण प्रभु तेरी शरण,करो भक्त का बेड़ा पार।
तेरे माथे मुकुट विराज रहेओ।
Shri Govardhana Maharaja, O Maharaja,Tere Mathe Mukuta Viraja Raheo।
Tope Pana Chadhe Tope Phula Chadhe,Tope Chadhe Dudha Ki Dhara।
Tere Mathe Mukuta Viraja Raheo।
Teri Sata Kosa Ki Parikamma,Chakaleshvara Hai Vishrama।
Tere Mathe Mukuta Viraja Raheo।
Tere Gale Mein Kantha Saja Raheo,Thodi Pe Hira Lala।
Tere Mathe Mukuta Viraja Raheo।
Tere Kanana Kundala Chamaka Raheo,Teri Jhanki Bani Vishala।
Tere Mathe Mukuta Viraja Raheo।
Giriraja Dharana Prabhu Teri Sharana,Karo Bhakta Ka Bera Para।
Tere Mathe Mukuta Viraja Raheo।
