HOLI KHELAN RADHA KHADI
Radha kahadi sooni, kori Shyam na ayoo kehlan hori Baahar dhol baje, abeer uddai Lekin mera angan suna bhaye
Dwar khadi derr raah takkoon Ayenge mere sanware zaroor Mori koree chunar bigoyenge Mora suna roop sajayenge
Sakhi baar baar bulaye mohe Aa ja baanwali abb saath more Per main na jaaon, hatth karroon Jab tak woh mori bahan na dhare
Logon ko bolu, mein toe yuh hi khadi Brijwasi ko dekhoon kelan Holi Per aankhiya bhari, bhara hai jiya Kyu na aye more sunder savariya
Radha stands alone and untouched Why hasn’t Shyam come as yet Outside the dhol booms and gulal flies But my home remains as yet quiet
Standing by the door I wait long With a belief he will come along And drench my dry veil with colours And bring to life my colourless beauty
My friends call out to me repeatedly Come along you lovelorn girl But I refuse and remain adamant Will only go once he does me hand take
To the onlookers I pretend to enjoy Watching the villagers play Holi But my eyes are wet and heart overflows Wondering why he has not arrived as yet ~ Chandi~
