श्री कृष्ण गोविन्द हरे मुरारी
हे नाथ नारायण वासुदेवा
पित मात स्वामी सखा हमारे
हे नाथ नारायण वासुदेवा
श्री कृष्ण गोविन्द हरे मुरारी
तुम में वास करे जग सारा
सारे जग में वास तुम्हारा
हे राधा रागल हे भक्त वत्सल
सदैव भक्तों के काम साधे
वहीँ गए जहाँ पुकारे
हे नाथ नारायण वासुदेवा
श्री कृष्ण गोविन्द हरे मुरारी
तुमने बनाई सारी सृष्टि सब जीवों को देते दृष्टि
मुरली मनोहर रास रचैया राधा के मन बस्ते कन्हैया
जब तक ये जीवन तुम्हे पुकारे
हे नाथ नारायण वासुदेवा
श्री कृष्ण गोविन्द हरे मुरारी
जीवों में तुम तुम में जीव सारे
अब प्राण पंछी तुम्हे पुकारे
