Achyutam Keshavam Lyrics (Hinglish)

Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram, Rama Narayanam Janaki Vallabham. Kaun kehta hai Bhagwan aate nahi, Tum Meera ke jaise bulate nahi. Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram... Kaun kehta hai Bhagwan khate nahi, Ber Shabari ke jaise khilate nahi. Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram... Kaun kehta hai Bhagwan sote nahi, Maa Yashoda ke jaise sulate nahi. Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram... Kaun kehta hai Bhagwan nachte nahi, Gopiyo ki tarah tum nachate nahi. Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram... Naam japte chalo kaam karte chalo, Har samay Krishna ka dhyan dharte chalo. Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram...
