Aarti Kunj Bihari Ki Lyrics (Hinglish)

Aarti Kunj Bihari Ki, Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari Ki. Gale mein baijanti mala, bajavai murli madhur bala. Shravan mein kundal jhalkala, Nand ke anand Nandlala. Aarti Kunj Bihari ki, Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari ki. Gagan sam ang kanti kali, Radhika chamak rahi aali. Latan mein thadhe banmali; bhramar si alak, kasturi tilak, Chandra si jhalak, lalit chhavi Shyama pyari ki. Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari ki. Aarti Kunj Bihari ki, Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari ki. Kanakmay mor mukut bilsai, devata darsan ko tarsain. Gagan son suman raasi barsai; baje murchang, madhur mirdang, Gwalin sang; atul rati gop kumari ki. Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari ki. Aarti Kunj Bihari ki, Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari ki. Jahan te prakat bhayi Ganga, kalush kali harini Shri Ganga. Smaran te hot moh bhanga; basi Siv sis, jata ke bich, Harai agh kich; charan chhavi Shri Banvari ki. Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari ki. Aarti Kunj Bihari ki, Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari ki. Chamakti ujjwal tat renu, baj rahi Vrindavan benu. Chahun disi gopi gwal dhenu; hansat mridu mand, chandni chand, Katat bhav phand; ter sun deen bhikhari ki. Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari ki. Aarti Kunj Bihari ki, Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari ki. Aarti Kunj Bihari ki, Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari ki. Aarti Kunj Bihari ki, Shri Giridhar Krishna Murari ki.
