आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥गले में बैजंती माला,
बजावै मुरली मधुर बाला ।
श्रवण में कुण्डल झलकाला,
नंद के आनंद नंदलाला ।
गगन सम अंग कांति काली,
राधिका चमक रही आली ।
लतन में ठाढ़े बनमाली
भ्रमर सी अलक,
कस्तूरी तिलक,
चंद्र सी झलक,
ललित छवि श्यामा प्यारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
कनकमय मोर मुकुट बिलसै,
देवता दरसन को तरसैं ।
गगन सों सुमन रासि बरसै ।
बजे मुरचंग,
मधुर मिरदंग,
ग्वालिन संग,
अतुल रति गोप कुमारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की ॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
जहां ते प्रकट भई गंगा,
सकल मन हारिणि श्री गंगा ।
स्मरन ते होत मोह भंगा
बसी शिव सीस,
जटा के बीच,
हरै अघ कीच,
चरन छवि श्रीबनवारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की ॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
चमकती उज्ज्वल तट रेनू,
बज रही वृंदावन बेनू ।
चहुं दिसि गोपि ग्वाल धेनू
हंसत मृदु मंद,
चांदनी चंद,
कटत भव फंद,
टेर सुन दीन दुखारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की ॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
आरती कुंजबिहारी की,
श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
