Bandish Text
English / Roman
naiyaa moree paara karo o mere nandalaala
purava pavana bahe sana sana yamunaa uChaala |
ghana ghora chatura Chaave megha malhaara dhuna sunaave
chamaka laagee yaaminee aba papihaa naa gaave ||
Devnagri
नैया मोरी पार करो ओ मेरे नन्दलाल
पुरव पवन बहे सन सन यमुना उछाल ।
घन घोर चतुर छावे मेघ मल्हार धुन सुनावे
चमक लागी यामिनी अब पपिहा ना गावे ॥
Meaning
Help me crossing the river, my lord, Nandalaal (Krishna) Storm is blowing strong through the river Yamuna. Dark clouds are looming large playing Malhar beats Frightened in the dark of night, birds stop singing.
