Bandish Text

English / Roman

jhUlata gopAla ho palanA
ghuMgharI alake lalake kapola bhAla ho |

bAlamukuMda AnMdakaMda
puni puni malake kilake 'praNavesha' nMdalaala ho ||

Devnagri

झूलत गोपाल हो पलना
घुंघरी अलके ललके कपोल भाल हो ।

बालमुकुंद आनंदकंद
पुनि पुनि मलके किलके 'प्रणवेश' नंदलाल हो ॥

Meaning

Baby Krishna swings gently in a cradle, The curly locks of hair of the child resting on his cheeks and forehead, Baby Krishna, the source of pure bliss, Again and again cries out with joy, opening and closing his eyes, The Lord of the Primordial Sound, the Son of Nanda! प्रणव = ॐकार​, ईश​ = नाथ​ प्रणवेश​ = Omkarnath The composer of the bandish pens his name cleverly.
