Bandish Text

English / Roman

madhumadana mana karo prabhuse tuma
saachee kahiye kona nibhaave |

jaba kokilaa kooka uThee chahooAO ora
sheetala maMda sameera bahe ||

Devnagri

मधुमदन मन करो प्रभुसे तुम
साची कहिये कोन निभावे ।

जब कोकिला कूक उठी चहूँ ओर
शीतल मंद समीर बहे ॥

Meaning

The poet of this Bandish asks its listeners to harbour and develop deep Love as sweet as honey for the Creator of the Universe. They try to elicit the love in the nature by giving an illustration of the cuckoo bird singing early in the morning. As it\'s melodious shrill spreads across the four directions, light cool breeze begins to flow reciprocating its cry for love. The poet is trying to inspire us to love the Creator in the same way as the cuckoo bird. If we call out to Him with earnest love from within us, then he surely responds just like the cool breeze. The poet then poses a question for us too! He challenges us asking, \"Tell the truth, who can really stand up to love the Almighty with such pure emotion?\"
