Lyrics and translation Anup Jalota - Radha Aisi Bhai Shyam Ki Diwani

Radha Aisi Bhai Shyam Ki Diwani

Ki brij ki kahaani ho gayi
To panditon ki Vaani ho gayi
Radha na hoti to Vrindavan bhi, Vrindavan na hotaa
Bansi main praan na hote
Prem ki bhaasaa jaantaa na koi
Kanaiyaa ko yogi maantaa na koi
Bin parinay ke dekh prem ki pujarin
Kanhaa ki Patraani ho gayi
Radha aisi bhayi Shyam ki
Radha ki payal na bajti to Mohan Aisaa na raaas rachate
Nindyaa chuiraakar, Madhuvan bulaakar
Anguli pe kisko nachaate
Kya aisi kushbu chandan main hotikya aisi mishri maakhan main hoti
Thodaa sa maakhan khilaakar wohgwaaalin
Annapurnaa si daani ho gayi

Radha Aisi Bhai Shyam Ki Diwani

Her Brij's story has been told,
For scholars and poets, her tale has been extolled.
Without Radha, Vrindavan would be naught,
Her flute would have no soul.
None would know the language of love,
Nor see Krishna as the lord above.
Behold the priestess of love, without a groom,
She's Krishna's bride, forever in bloom.
Radha, beloved of Shyam,
Without her tinkling anklets, Mohan would not have danced so grand.
Awaking from sleep, he'd call her name,
And beckon her with his finger's flame.
Has sandalwood such fragrance, has honey such sweetness?
A dollop of butter, and the milkmaid becomes,
A goddess, generous and wise.
