‘Kitni khubsurat yeh tasveer hai ‘– A song describing the Beauty of Kashmir

Dear friends, today I have come with a song from the film ‘Bemisaal’ (1982), which portrays the scenic beauty of the ‘Heaven on Earth’- Kashmir. The lyrics say it all :) . And the sceneries perfectly capture the valley, the mountains, the snow laden peaks, the shikaara, the horse riding :), the tall trees, the beautiful flowers- all the specialities of Kashmir!!! The last scene of this song, where a long shot is taken to show us the scenic beauty of the place – the wide mountains range - is truly memorable!!!

Here are the lyrics -

Kitni khubsurat yeh tasveer hai 
Mausam bemisaal benazir hai
Yeh Kashmir hai, yeh Kashmir hai.


Parvaton ke daramiyaan hain
Jannaton ki tarmiyaan hain
Aaj ke din hum yahaan hain
Saathi ye hamaari takdeer hai

Kitni khubsurat yeh tasveer hai 
Mausam bemisaal benazir hai


Is zameen se aasmaan se
Phulon ke is gulsitaan se
Jana mushkil hai yahan se
Tauba ye Hava hai ya janzeer hai

Kitni khubsurat yeh tasveer hai 
Mausam bemisaal benazir hai

Lyrics taken from internet.

Enjoy the song!

We can ‘perceive’ the Creator through His Creation! 

Hari AUM!

‘Mann Kunto Maula’- A song from the film- 'Gunday’ (2014)

This is a song which tells us about Lord-Devotee love as well as love between two friends who are like brothers.

The two friends in the film- Vikram and Bala, are not two but one. Loyal, loving and caring for each other. This song shows the closeness they share.

Lord-Devotee relation is also portrayed with so nice words in the beginning of this song…. That a person who is aware of his guilt is sure about the blessing of the Lord, so he has come to ask for forgiveness. And then the song tells about the relation, how they are inseparable. Two friends as well as Devotee-Lord, both :)

Here are the lyrics-

Aa... aa... a aa... aa...
Maula.. Ali.. Ali Maula..

Gunaah mere bade hain
Hai tera dil bhi bada
Gunaah mere bade hain
Hai tera dil bhi bada
Yaqeen hai maaf karega
Tabhi hoon dar pe khada

Mann Kunto Maula.. Maula Ali Ali..
Mann Kunto Maula..
Maula Ali Ali.. Maula Ali Ali..
Mann Kunto Maula.. 
Ali.. Maula.. Maula..

Tera dar hai, mera sar hai
Tera dar hai, mera sar hai

Tu mera mushkil kusha
Tu mera Ali Wali..
Tu mera mushkil kusha
Tu mera Ali Wali...

Mann Kunto Maula.. 
Fa haaza Ali-Un Maula
Mann kunto maula.. 
Fa haaza Ali-Un Maula

Tere baghair jo guzre woh zindagi kya hai
Tu agar saath ho mujhko to phir kami kya hai

Aana... dere na re na na.. More nena..

Tere baghair jo guzre woh zindagi kya hai
Tu agar saath ho mujhko to phir kami kya hai

Raah mushkil mein bhi main hadd se guzar jaaunga
Tu agar sath na ho to main kidhar jaaunga


Mann Kunto Maula.. 
Fa haaza Ali-Un Maula
Mann Kunto maula.. 
Fa haaza Ali-Un Maula

Mann Kunto Ali Maula..

Ali Maula Maula.. Ali Maula..

Mann Kunto Ali Maula..... 

Man Kunto Maula.. Meaning:

Man kunto maula
fa haaza Ali-un maula

To whom I am the master
Ali is the master.

OR

Whoever accepts me as master
Ali is his master too

‘Kinaare’- A Motivational song from the Film- ‘Queen’ (2014)

Dear friends,

Today I am posting a motivational song from a recent movie- ‘Queen’. The song very nicely expresses the mental state of the main protagonist, whose marriage was cancelled suddenly, she was heartbroken. So she went to visit the same places which she decided to visit during her honeymoon. She tries to regain her strength and actually does so during her journey throughout the film. This song tells us about motivating ourselves with our Inner Self.

Here are the lyrics-

Dhunde har ek saans mein
Dubkiyon ke baagh mein
Har bhanwaar ke paas kinare

Beh rahe jo saath mein
Jo hamare khaas the
Kar gaye, apni baat kinare

Gar maanjhi saath mein gair ho bhi jaaye
Toh khud hi tu pathwaar ban
Paar hoge hum

Jo choti si har ek nahar saagar ban bhi jaaye
Koi tinka leke haath mein dhund hi lenge hum

Kinare..
Kinare..
Kinare..

Khud hi toh hai hum
Kinare..
Kaise honge kam
Kinare..
Hain jahaan hai hum
Kinare..
Khud hi toh hai hum
Haan.. khud hi toh hai hum

Auron se kya
Khud hi se, poonch lenge raahein
Yahin kahin, maujon mein hi, dhund lenge hum

Boondon se hi, toh hain wahin, baandh lenge leherein
Pairon tale jo bhi mile, baandh lenge hum

Kinare..
Kinare..
Kinare..

Khud hi to hai hum
Kinaare..
Kaise honge kam
Kinare..
Hain jahaan hai hum
Kinare..
Khud hi to hai hum
Haan.. khud hi to hai hum

Lyrics taken from the Internet.

I have highlighted the lines which I really liked. 

The Power is Within us, we just need to be Conscious of it and gradually Self Confidence is bound to come. So true....

Have a Great Life ahead :)

Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan(9)- Ram-Lakshman in Mithila

In the last post we were introduced to the Royal Family of Mithila. Now we are coming back to Shri Ram and Lakshman, who are staying with Sage Vishwamitra in the ‘aamra vatika’ of Mithila. (This scene is not there on many DVD versions of the serial). As Lakshman wants to visit the city, Shri Ram asks Vishwamitra for the permission to do so. Vishwamitra becomes very happy and appreciates Shri ram for His wisdom while expressing wishes. He tells them to go to see the city so that the people of Mithila can also be Blessed by the sight of the Lord! So they go to visit the city and started spreading Joy to all… The public became overwhelmed by looking at them. The ladies looked at them and discussed about the beauty and charm … They wish if Sita could get married to this handsome Prince, then they will be able to see him again in future, when he will come to visit the in-laws. They discuss about the valour of Shri Ram. Really a wonderful scene to experience the beauty of the Lord!! All has been said in the RCM lines which has been used in the background music- 'Dekhan nagar Bhoop suta aaye'. Here is the lyrics:-

http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1349127&TPN=122

We can very easily relate this scene with the scene from Ramanand Sagar’s another great work ‘Shri Krishna’, where Shri Krishna goes out in the neighbourhood for the first time, then also the same reaction from the public can be noticed. Here is the scene:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb4hEBiAIxE

And here are the lyrics of that song:-

http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1311014&TPN=83

Now coming back to Ramayan, in the last post we have seen that Raja Janak came to know about Sage Vishwamitra’s arrival in Mithila, so he goes to welcome him personally. They all meet and greet each other. Here is the scene:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9S2A9HPzQw&feature=related

Then Shri Ram and Lakshman comes there after their visit to the city (Mithila), and Raja Janak becomes ‘visibly moved’ while looking at Him. This is such a wonderful scene! The lines from ‘Ram Charit Manas’ as the backgroung music says it all- ‘Murati Madhur manohar dekhi, bhaye videh videh bisekhi’. As Janak was considered as an ascetic person, still, the first look at the Lord, filled him with the rapture of Bliss. Really a memorable scene!!

In the palace, the friends of Sita tells her about the beauty of Shri Ram, about His visit in Mithila, that day, Sita listens to it with rapt attention.

After that, we have one of the Great scenes of Ramayan here, this one is one of my Top Favorite scene of all!! Where Shri Ram and Lashman serves Muni Vishwamitra by pressing his feet. After that Lakshman dose the same to Shri Ram to serve Him. The song is – ‘Munivar sayan kinhi tab jaayi’. This scene is Soooo Unique in its Content that everytime I feel Emotional while watching it! It is indeed Blissful as well as it teaches us the lesson what the Lord delivers through this action, that is to Respect the Guru, the Brahmin. The Lord of the Universe serving a sage, what a great Humility from the Lord!! I am So much attached to this scene that probably I won’t be able to express it here. The music, the words as well as the way the singer has delivered the song - all combine to make the effect of a Divine experience here. This is indeed one of the highest moments of Ramayan acc to me. It takes the serial to a Great Height! Such a Pious moment experienced by the audience here!

We also have same kind of scene in RSji’s Shri Krishna also, where Krishna comes to the aashram of Gargacharya for the first time, in Mathura, after killing Kans. It also has the same effect on me as the previous one from Ramayan. The lyrics are also very nice in SK.

(Will try to post the link of the video of the scene as well as the lyrics of the sequence in future.)

So here in Ramayan, we have Shri Ram and Lakshman going to take rest for the night. Tomorrow or the day after they will attend the Swayambar of Sita, but before that we have another Wonderful sequence in Pushp Vatika, will write about it in my next post.

Jai Shri Ram!

Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan (10)- First Meeting of Siya-Ram at the Pushp Vatika

Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan (7)- Ahalya Uddhar and Journry towards Mithila

Now we are starting our journey towards Mithila, the sc starts from here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnUX68Y9zEQ&feature=related

And continues till:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gs3AO069eE&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAoV8ooX1Z0&feature=related

During their stay in Vishawmitra’s aashram, Shri Ram and Lashman come to know about the envoy from the King of Mithila- Raja Janak. Vishwamitra asks them to accompany him to Mithila and as obedient students, they they follow him.

Here we also have the story of the birth of Sita. That once when there were draught in Mithila, then King Janaka himself started ploughing and found a baby girl in the plough filed, and named her Sita.

Now we have the song- ‘Chale Ram Lakhan muni sanga’, where they visit the Ganges and Vishwamitra tells them about the history of Sagar Raja and Bhagirath. I love the line- ‘Jagpaavani Ganga’ from the song. The music here is so pious!! It just expresses all about the Mahima of Maa Ganga!

Continuing their journey they come to the deserted place which was the ashram of Rishi Gautam once. Now the famous Ahalya uddhar takes place! It is So Powerful that words are not enough to express the impact! The Lord uplifted the lady who was rejected by her husband. It is such a great feeling that you have to go thr’ the emotions to ‘Realise’ it. The lines from RCM (in the original version of the song) as well as the changed words in the new version- both are sooo True!! I cannot quote a single line from that composition, it is beautiful as a whole! But yes, I love the line ‘Pad raj ki mahima bhaari’ and ‘Jo tribhuvan pujita, Lakshmi sevita, un charno me sthaan diya’:- all these expressions are so Beautiful!!

And just before the sc, when Vishwamitra says that only a Lord can uplift the wretched one! I just Love those words!! It proves the ‘Karuna’ of the Lord regarding All the creatures!! Another overwhelming sequence!

After Ahalya uddhar they reach Mithila, from where we’ll start in my next post.

Jai Shri Ram!

Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan (8)- Introduction of the Royal House of Mithila

Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan (6)- Tadka Vadh

Continuing my journey with Ramayan after a gap of two months :).

In my previous post we have seen Rishi Vishwamitra arriving in Ayodhya and asking Dasharath for Shri Ram and Lakshman. Now we have Shri Ram and Lakshman going with Sage Vishwamitra to kill the demons so that the rishis can perform the yagna in the proper way without any hinderance.

During the journey, we have a very nice doha from Ramcharit Manas- ‘Purishsinha dou veer'- it tells us about the Beauty of the Lord! I Love to listen to this composition. Specially the lines- ‘akhil biswa kaaran karan' (The Lord is the ‘reason’ as well as the ‘performer of any action’ in the creation!)... The description the Lord is sooo sweet!

Then Sage Vishwamitra tells them about the Demon Tadka and Shri Ram kills her with the aim of the ‘Welfare of mankind’. After that both the brothers keep guarding the sages while they perform the ‘Yagna’ uninterruptedly. The way Shri Ram and Lakshman protects the ‘yagnasthal’ – I feel so secure to watch that sc! In the same way the Lord protects all of us, all His children, each moment! Only we forget that and become worried about our future, ourselves, our success and all… But actually He is there always and we are safe only because of Him!

After the success of tha Yagna, all become very very happy and Sage Vishwamitra tells them about the researches the sages go thr' for the development of society. Now that can be continued as Shri Ram has watched over the yagna. So Vishwamitra wants to give some more Knowledge to Shri Ram, so that He can use all those for the Welfare of he Creation. Here we have the song- ‘Tab rishi nij naath hi...’ and we have this nice line- ‘Vidya nidhi kahun vidya dinhi’- so Significant!! The Sea of Knowledge taking knowledge from the Sage!!

And the next sc, where He eats ‘kand-mool’ with all the sages and bocomes Happy/ Contented with that! When we consider a Prince doing it, we really Wonder!!

This sc along with the prev song- are expressive of the Greatness of the Lord! The Bliss which he generates among the persons around Him (His devotees) by accepting whatever they have to give- is Such a Novel Gesture!! The effet of all these sc.s are Immense when we FEEL the emotions the characters present in the sc are going thr’.

From next post we’ll start another part of the story, i.e.- the journey to Sita- Swayambar.

Today we started our journey from here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulFpN5QGzQ8&feature=related

This scene starts with the dinner of Dasharath and the queens having their dinner, the background music is Soooo Sad that I feel like crying each time. Then we have this emotional conversation between Daahrath with both the queens- Kaikeyi and Kaushalya.

After that we have the proper Gurukul Episodes, it continues through this link and some of the next links:

I LOVE ALL the scenes of this phase. All the lessons taught by Guru Vashishth are So Uplifting, Significant, Wise that I can watch them over and over again. We found So much from the messege of Shrimad Bhageat Geeta in these scenes! They are always my favourite scenes as I Love to read Shimad Bhagwat Geeta!

(Here is a song from the gurukul episodes showing the ideals:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmgc-K608d8&feature=related )

Here we have three Wonderful songs, first one is 'Aaja aaja re nindiya',( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqvMQeCQ5Fw&feature=related ), a lullaby by Gurumata - this is one of my Most Favourite song! I LOVE the Music of this song. I also want to write about the picturisation of this song- all the students are feeling as if there mothers are with them and singing lullaby for them. And the last scene , where Ramanand Saagarji has shown us how all the students are lying in the lap of their mothers- is one of the Most Most Memorable sc for me from Ramayana. This scene just creates the MAGIC! It is here that we feel united with the emotions of the characters, we also experience the same!! The direction is Sooo Powerful that any person watching this song will start crying automatically! I Love to watch it and specially this last scene!

Then we have the song 'Lalit kare Navbhor vandana', (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iOhoW_7BhI), based on Classical Ragas, where Gurumata teaches Music to the students. This one also has very nice Music!

After that we have another song- 'Damarupaani, Shoolpaani' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7VQxQcv8HQ&feature=related ), on the occasion of Shivaratari- It is very very Blissful, specially where Shivji starts dancing along with the veena played by Shri Ram! The Lyrics are very very meaningful and true!

Aaja Aaja Ri Nindiya (Rajmatas' Lullaby)

We also have two shlokas- Saraswati Puja ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe3PKMSZh9E&feature=related) and Surya namaskar ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UnHnoGac1Y&feature=related), both are very nice.

This phase ends with the Students returning to the palace wearing the royal dress, the Gurumata feels sad in the time of their depature. Next we will be having some really nice family moments from Ayodhya Raajprasad and the arrival of Sage Vishwamitra.

Jai Shri Ram!

Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan(2)- The Birth of Shri Ram

Now we have the actual story :)- it begins with a worship of the 'Sun God' (the presiding god of Sun Dynasty- 'Surya vansh'), by Kulguru Vashishtha and King Dashrath along with his three Queens. The pain of childless life is unbearable, so Vashishtha tells Dashrath to go to Rishyashringa Muni for the 'Putrakaameshti yagna'.

Now we have the First song of Ramayan- 'Chala ek Raja'- (if we consider the 'Vishnu Stuti', posted in my prev post as an introduction only)... :). The Earnestness in the eyes of Dashrath is Soo Overwhelming!

Here is the YouTube link of the song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFQZE6V6KPA

This song is divided into many parts, Dashrath's plea, Rishyashringa Muni's approval, the yagna, the conception of Shri Ram and his brothers by the three queens, the birth and the celebration in Ayodhya. All of them are Sooo Blissful that I watch (and listen) it again and again...

After this scene, we have the 'Naamkaran Ceremony' of Shri Ram and His Brothers- Guru Vashishtha names them- Ram, Bharat, Lakshman and Shatrughna. That scenes says it all! The way Guru Vashishtha says that 'the name Ram is capable to spread Happiness to the whole universe'- is indeed Blissful!And the way Mata Kaikeyi uttars these words- "Mere Ram!" - we cannot even think that this lady will be overpowered by vices in future! Her emotion towards Shri Ram was So Sponataneous here!

The video of this scene:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVSvEXkVQk8&feature=related

In my next post I'll start with the childhood of the Lord.

Jai Shri Ram!

Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan- The Beginning

Dear Friends, Since last one and half years I have been watching the TV Serial 'Ramayan' (sometime on Television and sometime on DVD) and finding Immense Bliss from it! It is truly the Nectar of Devotion!! Recently got this Inspiration ('prerna') from inside (i.e.- from the Lord) to write about my experiences about Ramayan... So, now I am here with this series :)... I 'll try to go through the epic as shown by Dr. Ramanand Sagar in his masterpiece- Ramayan.

The first sc opens with a Vishnu Stuti, which is my favourite since I watched it for the first time.

Here we have some sanskrit shlokas and a part from Tulsidasji's Ramcharitmanas- both are So sweet, So True- I just Love it! I also learnt the words in a few days! They are So memorable!! The Blue coloured Lord Vishnu is So Beautiful! I just get filled with Bliss while looking at the Lord in this scene! Here is the link of the video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9ypYYvPO9w&feature=related

After that the gods come and pray to Lord Vishnu to save them from the atrocities of Raavan. Here we have Significant dialogue from Devguru Brihaspati that if we do not have Dharma to lean upon, then there will be disruption in the whole Creation! Each time any person decides to support Dharma in his personal life, it helps the Creation to flourish in the Proper way! I just love this part. Do watch this part at the end of the previous video a

nd in the beginning of this part

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOWciIj0Omo&feature=related

This logic truly sets the story in its track. We are able to understand the reason why Lord Vishnu took the form of Ram Avtaar. I loved this introduction to the story So Much that I watch this part many times.

Now the story Actually starts in the palace of King Dasharath, from where we will start in my next post.

Jai Shri Ram!

Agni Pariksha Song from Ramanand Sagar's 'Ramayan'

This is one of my most favourite songs from Ramayan. I keep on listening to it for a long time. Sitaji's Faith on Shri Ram is soooo Powerful in this scene! The whole sequnce is just Divine! The beauty of the last line cannot be described in words.... Lyrics are taken from Tulsidasji's Shri Ramcharitmanas.

(Lyrics and the English translation both are given by Shivang.)

Lyrics:-

Suni Prabhu vachan bhaalu kapi harashe,
Nabh te, suranh suman bahu varashe;
Sita pratham Anal mahu raakhi,
Pragat kinhi chah, antar saakhi.

(Listening to the words of lord, bears & monkey became joyful; Gods showered flowers from the sky; Firstly, Ramji had kept Sitaji safe with Fire God, and now the knowledgeable of that internal secret wants to bring her in front of all.)

Ehi kaaran Karunaanidhi, kahe kachhuk durbaad;
Sunat jaatudhaani sab, laagai karai bishaad. (Doha)

(For that reason, graceful God uttered some harsh words listening to which, the demonesses started becoming anxious.)

Prabhu ke bachan sis dhari Sita,
Boli man kram bachan punitaa;
Lachhiman hohu dharam ke negi;
Paavak pragat karau tum begi.

(Obeying the words of Lord, Sitaji, pious by thoughts, speech & actions, said: "O Lakshman! You become helpful in following of duty & quickly generate fire for me over here".)

Suni Lachhiman Sita ke baani,
Birah bibek dharam niti saani;
Lochan sajal jori kar dou,
Prabhu san kachhu kahi sakat na ou.

(Listening to Sitaji's words full of sorrow of parting, wisdom & sense of duty, Lakshman got tears in eyes with hands joint, but couldn't say anything to Lord.)

Dekhi Ram rookh Lachhiman dhaaye,
Paavak pragat kaath bahu laaye;
Paavak prabal dekhi Baidehi,
Hriday harash nahi bhay kachhu tehi.

(Looking at the angry/serious face of Shri Ram, Lakshmanji ran & brought the wood for generating fire. Looking at burning powerful fire, Sitaji didn't have any fear in heart but had joy instead.)

Jo man bach kram, mam ur maahi,
Tyaji Raghuveer aan gati naahi;
Tou krusaanu, sab ke gati jaanaa,
Mo kahu hou Shreekhand samaanaa.

(Sitaji saying/thinking in mind: "If I haven't sought any shelter other than Raghuvar in life by my thoughts, speech or actions; then O FireGod - knowledgeable of state of mind of all! Please become cool like sandal for me.)


Shrikhand sam paavak prabes, kiyo sumiri Prabhu Maithili;
Jay Kosales Mahes bandit, charan rati ati nirmali;
Pratibimb aru laukik kalank prachand paavak mahu jare;
Prabhu charit kaahu na lakhe, nabh sur siddh muni dekhahi khare.

(Remembering & cheering the victory of Lord Ram - the Lord of the Kaushal kingdom,
who is worshipped by Lord Shiv & whose feet are purely loved by Sitaji herself; Sitaji entered the burning woods which were as cool as sandal for her. Sitaji's secret shadow only burnt which was prone to be affected worldly pollutions & impurities and Lord's play couldn't be understood by anyone present over there and all Gods & achiever saints were stunned looking at this from the sky.)

[After Agnidev returning original Sitaji]

Dhari roop paavak paani gahi Shri satya shruti jag bidit jo;
Jimi ksheer saagar Indiraa Ramhi samarpi aani so;
So Ram baam bibhaag raajati ruchir ati sobha bhali;
Nav neel neeraj nikat maanahu kanak pankaj ki kali.

(Then after taking the human form, Fire God appeared and holding the hands of real Sitaji known to be symbol of truth by Vedas, he presented her to Shri Ram the way Ocean gifted Lakshmiji to Vishnu. Sitaji came and stood beside Shri Ram and she looked gorgeous & beautiful left side part of Lord; as if a golden lotus bud is shining near a fresh navy blue lotus.)

Jai Shri Ram.

Shiv in Gokul in disguise

Ek jogi aayo ri tere dwaar,

Dikha de mukh laal ka,
O maiyaa, dikha de mukh laal ka.


Liye akhiyon me pyaas,
Jogi hai re Haridaas / Jogi tere ari daas(?),
Badi door se aayo leke daras ki aas;
Maai aiso sanjog na taal,

Tere bhare rahenge bhandaar,
Dikha de mukh laal ka,
Ari maiyaa, dikha de mukh laal ka.

(The old lady comes and then calls Yashoda outside and then dialog and debate with Yashoda and then Yashoda brings Krishna outside but doesn't allow JOGI touch the baby)

(Shiv through his subtlest form and yogic power touches the lotus feet of baalroop without the knowledge of Yashoda)

Aadhyastam Omkaar, akaar roopam,
Paraatparam satyaparam trisatyam,
Yogishwaro va Jagadishwaro va,
Tvam Krishnaroopam, manasaa smaraami.

(Shiv sings through his gross body of JOGI BABA again)

Mere nainaa bhaye hain nihaal,
Nirakh mukh laal ka;
Pyase nainaa bhaye hain nihaal
Nirakh mukh laal ka,
Ari maiyaa, nirakh mukh laal ka

(Yashoda offering gems before he starts leaving)

Rakh le heere moti tere,
Yeh patthar kis kaam ke mere;
Jogi ho gayaa maalaamaal,
Nirakh mukh laal ka;
Mai to ho gayaa maalaamaal,
Nirakh mukh laal ka;
Ho maiyaa, nirak mukh laal ka.

And here is another song from Shri Krishna (Lyrics originally posted by Lola in India-Forums):

sadashiv, mahakaal jyotirmaye x2
amarnaath mahadev, mrityunjaye x2

panch'akshari mantra priya, sarva tyaagi
he panchabhuton ke swami viraagi
maalkauns durga paanch swaron wale
madhu-yukt raagon ke raag anuraagi
nataraja din raatri nartan laye x2
sadashiv, mahakaal jyotirmaye

jogi janon ne sada tumko dhyaaya
kahin par kisi ne yugon tak na paaya
kahi aap jal se bhi jal ho gaye
bhavani dayaani ke mann bha gaye
sadashiv, mahakaal jyotirmaye x2
