Bhaja Govinda Bhaja Govinda
bhaja govinda bhaja govinda bhaja govinda kā nāma re
govinda ke nāma bina tere koī nā āve kāma re
yeh jīvana sukha duḥkha kā melā duniyā sārī svapanon kā khelā
jānā tujhko pāde akela bhaja re hari kā nāma re
govinda kī mahimā gāve prema kī usapar āga lagāke
jīvana apanā saphala banāe cala īśvara kī dhama re
