Tum Meera Ke Jaise Bulate Nahi

Who says God doesn’t come to you?
You don’t call her like Meera does. (Meera was a poet and loyal devotee of Krishna, and lived around the 16th century)

Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram
Rama Naraynam Janakivallabham
Kaun Kehta Hai Bhagvan Khaate Nahi
Ber Shabri Ke Jaise Khilate Nahi

You don’t offer berries the way Shabri did. (Shabri was a Rama devotee who lived on her own in the forest and would go on her own with her walking stick every day to collect berries to offer her Lord)

Perhaps you don’t put him to sleep the way Mother Yashoda did. (Yashoda was Krishna’s foster mother)

Gopiyo Ki Tarah Tum Nachathae Nahi

Who says God won’t dance with you?
You don’t dance with him the way the gopis do

Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram,
Rama Naraynam Janaki Vallabham,
Naam Japate Chalo Kaam Karte Chalo
Har Samay Krishna Ka Dhyaan Karte Chalo

Keep taking his name as you go about your work
Remember Krishna and keep him in your mind always

Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram,
Rama Naraynam Janaki Vallabham,
Yaad Aayegi Unko Kabhi Na Kabhi
Krishan Darshan To Denge Kabhi Na Kabhi

He will be there when you need him
Krishna will visit you one day

Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram
Rama Naraynam Janaki Vallabham
