श्री कुंजबिहारी जी की आरती

आरती कुंजबिहारी की, श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की।
गले में बैजंती माला, बजावै मुरली मधुर बाला।

श्रवण में कुण्डल झलकाला, नंद के आनंद नंदलाला।
गगन सम अंग कांति काली, राधिका चमक रही आली।
रतन में ठाढ़े बनमाली;
भ्रमर सी अलक, कस्तूरी तिलक, चंद्र सी झलक;
ललित छवि श्यामा प्यारी की॥
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की
श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की॥

आरती कुंजबिहारी की, श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की।

जहां ते प्रकट भई गंगा, कलुष कलि हारिणि श्रीगंगा।
स्मरण ते होत मोह भंगा;
बसी शिव शीश, जटा के बीच, हरै अघ कीच;
चरन छवि श्रीबनवारी की॥
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की
श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की॥

आरती कुंजबिहारी की, श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की।

चमकती उज्ज्वल तट रेनू, बज रही वृंदावन बेनू।
चहुं दिसि गोपि ग्वाल धेनू;
हंसत मृदु मंद,चांदनी चंद, कटत भव फंद;
टेर सुन दीन भिखारी की॥
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की, श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की॥

English Lyrics

Aarti Kunj Bihari Ki Shri Girdhar Krishna Murari Ki
Gale Mein Baijanti Mala, Bajave Murali Madhur Bala

Shravan Mein Kundal Jhalakala, Nand Ke Anand Nandlala
Gagan Sam Ang Kanti Kali, Radhika Chamak Rahi Aali
Latan Mein Thadhe Banamali
Bhramar Si Alak, Kasturi Tilak, Chandra Si Jhalak
Lalit Chavi Shyama Pyari Ki
Shri Giradhar Krishnamuraari Ki

Aarti Kunj Bihari Ki
Shri Girdhar Krishna Murari Ki

Kanakmay Mor Mukut Bilse, Devata Darsan Ko Tarse
Gagan So Suman Raasi Barse
Baje Murchang, Madhur Mridang, Gwaalin Sang
Atual Rati Gop Kumaari Ki
Shri Giradhar Krishna Murari Ki

Aarti Kunj Bihari Ki
Shri Girdhar Krishna Murari Ki

Jahaan Te Pragat Bhayi Ganga, Kalush Kali Haarini Shri Ganga,

Aarti Kunj Bihari Ki English Translation

We perform an Aartī of Shri Krishna, Who is Giridhara, and Who roams in the gardens

We perform an Aartī of Shri Krishna, who has a garland of vaijayantī flowers in the neck, who is a child and plays melodious flute, who has shining hoops in the ears, and who is the dear one of Nanda.

We perform an Aartī of Shri Krishna, Who has a body like clouds, Who has a dark resplendence, Who has Radhika shining as a friend, Who is standing inside the creepers and shrubs, Who has dark-tresses of the color of bumble-bee, Who has a forehead mark of kasturī, Whose glance is the Moon, Who has an artistic appearance, Who is Giridhara, and Who roams in the gardens.||1||

We perform an Aartī of Shri Krishna, who has a golden crown of peacock’s feathers, Who is sought-after by the demi-gods for a glance, who is showered with flowers from the skies, who is adorned with the sounds of mrodaniga while being with the cow-maids, Who has the immeasurable charming company of Gopi Kumari Shri Radharani ji.||2||

We perform an Aartī of Shri Krishna, from Whose feet the river Ganìga — the river which absolves all the dirt within us, the river which when remembered destroys passion, the river which falls and resides inside the matted-tress of Śiva, the river which absolves mud-like sin, The River is just like the shadow of feets of Banavārī.||3||

The white-sand is shining on the banks (of Yamunā), the flutes of Vrundāvana are playing, and there are cows, cow-maids and milkmen everywhere. Lord Krishna is beautifully smiling amidst those in the presence of joyful Moon and moonlight. The shackles of life are destroyed by having a glance of this scene.

We perform an Aartī of Shri Krishna, who destroys the grief of the weak, who is Giridhara, and who roams in the gardens.||4||
