Cikana Kala Galaya Mala
Bhajan | Govinda Dasa Kaviraja
Verse 1
cikana kala galaya mala
bajaye nupura paya
cudara phule bhramara bule
teracha nayane caya
Verse 2
kalindi-kule ki pekhinu sa-i
chaliya nagara kana
ghara mu ya-ite narinu sa-i
akula karila prana
Verse 3
canda jhalamali mayura pakha
cudaya udaye baya
isat hasiyamadhura bamsari
madhura madhura gaya
Verse 4
rasera bhare anga na dhare
keli-kadambera hela
kulabati sati yubati janara
parana la-iya khela
Verse 5
srabane cancala makara kundala
pindhana pinala basa
ranga utpala carana-yugala
nichani gobinda-dasa
Verse 1
A shining dark garland hangs at his throat, anklets ring at his feet; bees hover about the flowers in his crown, as he glances sideways with his eyes.
Verse 2
O friend, what did I see on the bank of the Kalindi -- that cunning lover, Krishna! O friend, I could not even return home; he has thrown my very life into turmoil.
Verse 3
The moon glimmers, peacock feathers wave atop his crown in the breeze; smiling gently, he plays his sweet flute, singing sweetly, so sweetly.
Verse 4
Overcome by the weight of rasa, his limbs can barely stay steady, so playfully does he lean against the kadamba tree; he plays with the very life of chaste, well-born young women.
Verse 5
Restless makara earrings sway at his ears, his garment fits him closely; his two feet are like red lotuses -- Govinda Dasa offers this as an arati of gazing upon him.
