Krishna, krishna! 

Heading straight 

To the Haveli,

We stop at the phoolwala 

And his tokri,   

Our steps halt 

As we bend,  

Flowers to the soul, 

Bliss lend:   

The moment 

Of spotting fresh blooms, 

Mogra and Prajakta, 

Bringing a bright glow

On our face and our heart, 

 We bend to touch the petals,
   
And the softness 

In the Marigold garlands,
 
 How we love to hold! 

And now hurry to visit 

Krishna in the temple,
 
Inhaling incense, 

Lotus scented agarbatti
 
Lighting lamps for real,
  
Chanting aarti in chorus,
  
As we drape blooms 

Around His neck,  
 
And join our hands,
   
Overwhelmed  

With real Darshan 

In our 'ami'-filled eyes, 

As our blue Kanhaa 

We behold, 
  
The maakhan chor,

And His mesmerising,

 Mischievous muskaan 

Forever heart-held,
 
Come let’s celebrate, 
 
The birth of 

Our Divine consciousness

On Krishna we focus, 

Govind Hari, Gopal Hari,

We chant in chorus, 

His feet,

The ultimate Sharan

For us.
