Janmashtmi 2010 - Maiyaa mori, main Nahi Makhan Khayo

Today is Janmashtmi (Birthday of Lord Krishn) and I am reminded of this great devotional song composed by Surdas (great worshiper of Lord Krishn).  I would like to share these lyrics with all my friends. Though these words reflect on different shades of Bal Krishn's behaviour, these are still relevant and we at times behave the same way, we are honest, we lie, we defy, we pretend, we reject, we accept, we....

Enjoy the lyrics:

Maiyaa mori, main Nahi Makhan Khayo

Bhor bhayo gaiyan ke paache, Madhuvan mohi pathayo .
chaar prahar vanshivat bhatakyo, saanj pare ghar aayo ..
.. Maiya Mori .......... 1 ..

main baalak bahiyan ko choto, chinko kidi vidhi payo .
gwaal baal sab bair pare hain, barbas mukh laptayo ..
.. Maiya Mori .......... 2 ..

Tu janani man kii ati mori, inke kahe patiyaayo .
Jiya tete kachu bhed upjihai, jaani parayo jaayo ..
.. Maiya Mori .......... 3 ..

yaha le apani lakuti kambaliyaa, bahutahi naach nachaayo .
Jiya tete kachu bhed upjihai, jaani parayo jaayo ..
"Surdas" tab hanshi Yashodaa, lai ur-kanth lagaayo ..
.. Maiya Mori .......... 4 ..

Hindi version
मैया मोरी, मैं नही माखन खायो

भोर भयो गैयन के पाछे, मधुवन मोहि पठायो ।
चार पहर वंशीवट भटक्यो, सांझ परे घर आयो ॥
॥ मैया मोरी .......... १ ॥

मैं बालक बहियन को छोटो, छींको किहि विधि पायो .
ग्वाल-बाल सब बैर परे हैं, बरबस मुख लपटायो ..
॥ मैया मोरी .......... २ ॥

तू जननी मन की अति भोली, इनके कहे पतियायो .
यह ले अपनी लकुटि कम्बलिया, तुने बहुतहि नाच नचायो .

॥ मैया मोरी .......... ३ ॥

जिय तेते कछु भेद उपजिहै , जानि परायो जायो ..
"सूरदास" तब हँसी यशोदा, लै उर-कंठ लगायो ..
॥ मैया मोरी .......... ४ ॥
