Deep Dan Kiyo · दीप दान कियो

दीप दान कियो सकल ब्रज आज कुहु मंगल अधिकाई ॥ जगमगात खिरकन पर दिपक लागत मनहीरा छबि पाई ॥१ ॥

Today, throughout Vraj, lamps are being offered on this auspicious dark night, filling everywhere with great joy and blessings. The lamps shining brightly around the cowsheds look as beautiful as sparkling jewels. ॥१॥

बर सिंगार कहाये गायन नाना रंग के सिंग रंगाये ॥ पांय पेंजनि सीसन पटीआ लटकन सबके कंठ बंधाये ॥२ ॥

The cows have been beautifully adorned for the festival. Their horns are painted in many colours, little bells and ornaments decorate their feet, lovely bands adorn their heads, and decorative pendants hang around their necks. ॥२॥

धौरी धुमर गांग बुलाई बछरा सहित आतुर वे धाये ॥ देखी ठाडे नंद लाडीले श्रीविट्ठल गायन कान जगाये ॥३ ॥

Dhori, Dhumar and Gang, the cows, are called by their names. They eagerly come running with their calves. Seeing His beloved cows standing before Him, Nanda's darling Kanhaiya lovingly calls out to them. Shri Vitthal sings of this delightful scene. ॥३॥
