Bar bar sakhi, barana karanu,     na jaao mathuradham.
Bisari premdukha raajabhoga jathi     karata hamarai shyam.
Dhik tnuhu dambhik, dhik rasana dhik,     laili kahari nam.
Bol to sajani, mathura-adhipati     so ki hamari shyam.
Dhanko shyam so, mathurapurko,     rajyamanko hoy.
Naha piritiko, brajakaminiko,     nichay kahanu may toy.
Jab tnuhu ttharabi so naba narapati     jani re kare abaman -
Chinnakusuma-sama jharaba dhara-par     palake khoyaba pran.
Bisarala bisarala so sab bisarala     brindabanasukhasanga,
Naba nagare, sakhi, nabin nagara,     upajala naba naba ranga.
Bhanu kahata, ayi birahakatara,     maname bandhaha theha -
Mugudha bala, bujhai bujhali na,     hamar shyamaka leha.
