o gokul ke krishan kanhai
lakho ki tune naiya khewai
ham behne tere dwar pe aai re
ham behne tere dwar pe aai
ban ja hamara tu bhai re
kanhai ban ja hamara tu bhai re
o re o kanhai
o re o kanhai
o re o kanhai
o re o kanhai

aaj hain rakhi ka pavan din
he mohan man bhavan re
mujhse mera bhai hain rutha
mujhse mera bhai hain rutha
meri aankh me saawan re
meri aankh me saawan re
tanik badha de apni kalai
ban ja hamara tu bhai re
kanhai ban ja hamara tu bhai re
o re o kanhai
o re o kanhai
o re o kanhai
o re o kanhai

bhai bahan ka pyar jagat me
adbhut aur anokha
adbhut hain aur anokha
isme jivan, preet isi se
na chhal hain na dhokha
ha na chhal hain na dhokha
ganga jal si isme sacchai
ban ja hamara tu bhai re
kanhai ban ja hamara tu bhai re
o gokul ke krishan kanhai
lakho ki tune naiya khewai
ham behne tere dwar pe aai re
ham behne tere dwar pe aai
ban ja hamara tu bhai re
kanhai ban ja hamara tu bhai re

Oh Krishna, of Gokul, Kanhaiya,
You rowed the boats of countless souls,
We sisters come now to your door,
We sisters come, our hearts in tolls.
Become our brother, be our guide,
Kanhaiya, be our brother's pride.
Oh Re, Oh Kanhaiya,
Oh Re, Oh Kanhaiya,
Oh Re, Oh Kanhaiya,
Oh Re, Oh Kanhaiya.

Today, the sacred Rakhi's day,
Oh Mohan, delight of every eye,
My brother, he is turned away,
My brother, tears I cannot dry.
My eyes, a monsoon's endless pour,
A moment, lend your wrist and hand,
Become our brother, and restore,
Kanhaiya, brother of our land.
Oh Re, Oh Kanhaiya,
Oh Re, Oh Kanhaiya,
Oh Re, Oh Kanhaiya,
Oh Re, Oh Kanhaiya.

The love between a brother, sister,
A wonder in this world we see,
A bond of grace, a loving vista,
Where truth and life are meant to be.
No deceit, no shadow's guise,
Like Ganga's waters, pure and true,
Become our brother, to our eyes,
Kanhaiya, brother, strong and new.
Oh Krishna, of Gokul, Kanhaiya,
You rowed the boats of countless souls,
We sisters come now to your door,
We sisters come, our hearts in tolls.
Become our brother, be our guide,
Kanhaiya, be our brother's pride.
