Yamuna ke ghaat par bhajan

Yamuna ghaat...What is the first thing that runs to your minds when I say this? Yes! The spot where Krishna would play his mellifluous flute; break the pots of makhan(butter) with his associates, bathe in its cool waters, dance in the twilight with all the gopis, Romance with his favorite Radharani. Ever thought how much of a glorified spot it is? It is not regarded as one of the most romantic places on Earth but, think, if the banks of Yamuna is the place Our dearmost Krishna chose to enchant the enchantresses themselves and perform all of the numerable amazing pastimes ,then how much of beauty that spot can hold??!! How many chapters of romance, mischief,love,devotion , admiration and heartfelt emotions it has seen. The banks of Yamuna are very beautiful in their own regard; after all, anything associated with Krishna is very beautiful ,right? (despite of the pollution and degradation it is unfortunately going through now because of careless human interference).

So here's a bhajan. In it is a girl (gopi) whose every wish and desire to do anything and everything with her Kanha starts and ends on the sacred banks of Yamuna. Every thought of hers is directed towards taking krishna to that spot and fulfilling her wishes there. She loves the spot because He Loves the spot!

PS: I wrote this after watching news abt Yamuna river pollution etc. I was so touched. So I went back some thousands of years in my imagination and saw the river again...but clear and shining this time. [and saw him playing his flute :) ]

Heyji mere Kanha ko kaho mere saath aaye Yamuna ke ghaat par.

Ghar chhodi ,bhooli bhagi samsara se ,

Ab tujhme hi leen hoon.

Madhur jiski bansuri aur madhur jiske naam ki,

Pooja mein leen hoon.

Heyji! Mere Kanha ko laavo ri sakhi .....Yamuna ke ghaat par.

Heyji mere Kanha . . .

Raat madraat manmohan ke saath ,

Raas -leela mein leen hoon.

Kaala jiska rang aur roopvan ang,

Ab Nihaarne mein leen hoon.

Heyji! Mere kanha ko bolu mann ki baat..... Yamuna ke ghaat par.

Heyji mere Kanha . . .

Gokul ,Vrindavan, Barsana yatra,

Karne mein leen hoon.

Krishna krishna gawoo aur hari geeton ki,

Masti leen hoon.

Heyji Mere Kanha ko gawoo prem geet..... Yamuna ke ghaat par.

Heyji Mere Kanha . . .

Akhil Brahmaand dikhaye uss Sarathy ke

Sang mein leen hoon.

Saanchi jiski baat aur geeta ka paath

Ab Padhne mein leen hoon.

Heyji! Mere Kanha ki sunnu adbudh vaani..... Yamuna ke ghaat par.

Heyji Mere Kanha . . .
