Lyrics in Hindi (Devanagari)
मुझे ला दो भजन वाली वही माला,
जा के रटने से मिल जाए नंदलाला।。
जो माला माँ यशोदा ने फेरी,
जो माला माँ यशोदा ने फेरी,
देखो लीला दिखा गए नंदलाला,
मोहे लादो भजन वाली वही माला,
जा के रटने से मिल जाए नंदलाला।。
जो माला मैया गौरा ने फेरी,
जो माला मैया गौरा ने फेरी,
उन्हें मिल गए वो डमरू वाला,
मोहे लादो भजन वाली वही माला,
जा के रटने से मिल जाए नंदलाला।。
जो माला द्रोपदी ने फेरी,
जो माला द्रोपदी ने फेरी,
देखो चीर बड़ा गए गोपाला,
मोहे लादो भजन वाली वही माला,
जा के रटने से मिल जाए नंदलाला।。
जो माला माता शबरी ने फेरी,
जो माला माता शबरी ने फेरी,
झूठे बेरो को खा गए राम लाला,
मोहे लादो भजन वाली वही माला,
जा के रटने से मिल जाए नंदलाला।。
जो माला हनुमान जी ने फेरी,
जो माला हनुमान जी ने फेरी,
देखो लंका को पल में जला डाला,
मोहे लादो भजन वाली वही माला,
जा के रटने से मिल जाए नंदलाला।。
मुझे ला दो भजन वाली वही माला,
जा के रटने से मिल जाए नंदलाला।。
