could someone help me find the song ?

Place to go if you want to ask someone identify raga, tala, composer etc or ask for sāhitya (lyrics) or notations or translations.

Do you mean 'nis din barsat nain hamArE', a sUrdAs composition?

Here are the lyrics as I remember them (there are other versions of this that I am aware of)...

nis din barsat nain hamArE - Tears pour (barsat) from my (hamArE) eyes (nain) everyday/continually (nis din)
sadA rahat pAvas ritu hampE - It looks like it is always (sadA rahat) the monsoon (pAvas) season (ritu) for me (hampE)
jab sE shyAm sidhAre - ever since (jab sE) krishNa (shyAm) left me (sidhArE)

akhiyAn DhUNDh thaki man thakyO - My eyes (akhiyAn) are fatigued (thaki) from searching (DhUNDh) for him, and my mind (man) is also tired (thakyO)
calat calat pag hAre - and my feet (pag) hurt (hArE) from wandering (calat calat) about
sUr shyAm bhatkOn mat Dar khOlO man ke dvAre - This is what Surdas has to say: Oh devotees (bhaktOn) of krishNa (shyAm)! Don't be afraid (mat Dar), open (khOlO) the doors (dvArE) to your heart/mind (man)

My all time favorite renditon is this www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGXtmCD_FTY

i wish gurucharan now limits singing those hindi songs of his and sticks to some good pure classical music......

otherwise he will soon join the long queue of singers who do more gimmicks and give less music.....

dear Rshankar,
I am afraid that was not the song. it is the the third song that comes in bageshree when you open his site. it comes in the intro itself.

yeah rshankar.
but the scale was different. it was the same lyrics. gurucharans is in bageshree and the other one you refer i think is in desh.

Now, don't banish me to that thread!

First we have to decide, is it about South East Asian or African monkeys or guerillas?

Let's leave the poor four-legged ones alone--it's the ape in us, humans.

This is an old thread, I came across it while searching for Surdas’ Nisdin Barsat. I thought I would add to it.

The first stanza in @rshankar’s lyrics are correct, but the rest is different. He does say it’s from memory.. 🙂

Here are the correct lyrics:

निसिदिन बरसत नैन हमारे
निसिदिन बरसत नैन हमारे।
सदा रहत पावस ऋतु हम पर, जबते स्याम सिधारे।।

अंजन थिर न रहत अँखियन में, कर कपोल भये कारे।
कंचुकि-पट सूखत नहिं कबहुँ, उर बिच बहत पनारे॥

आँसू सलिल भये पग थाके, बहे जात सित तारे।
'सूरदास' अब डूबत है ब्रज, काहे न लेत उबारे॥

- सूरदास

I happened to find a video with MSS’ version, in Bageshri, as @ganesh.mourthy said, and Here’s a link to it:

https://youtu.be/rnF451j07Cg


There are many other versions of this song.

Here’s an approximate translation ( not mine):

Our eyes are watery, day and night; ever since Śyāma left Vraja, the season of rain has dawned on us. (The eyes are shedding tears like rain drops, continuously.) The kājala-pigments don’t stay in eyes for long; they flow with tears and our hands and cheeks become dark due to it.[2]

The cloth worn at shoulder, the blouse, never dries up due to tears.

It seems a river is flowing between our bosom. The tears have become like a river and our feet tremble. These white-star like tears are flowing continuously.[4]

O Sūradāsa! Vraja is about to drown [in tears]; why doesn’t Kṛṣṇa come and guard us?[5]
