Lyrics for a Birju Mahraj composition

[rshankar]

Has anyone heard of this composition of the Mahraj? Not surprisingly, it is as delightful as his dancing...
"Perhaps the most striking was his poem on Radha dressing up as Krishna and momentarily fooling the gopis. While the getup is perfect, Krishna tells Radha, her eyes betray her. To Radha's question why, he says, “Your eyes still reflect Krishna” — the unspoken statement being that Krishna's eyes reflect his beloved Radha."
Nick - I know you never miss his performances...by any chance, do you know someone (Ms. Saswati Sen, perhaps) who would know this composition?

[Lakshman]

There are some of his songs at this site. Is the one you are looking for here?

Shankar,
Wow, Shankar!!!! What a fascinating thought! Must be an absolutely lovely piece of poetry! Thanks just for bringing it up. I will look for it in Lakshman's link, but if you do find it elsewhere, please do share it.

But this is the other way round - where kishan puts on the garb of rAdha. Probably this pertains to 'kRSNa' TV serial. But the essence is same.

**Krishna to Radha - Tum mera mukut pehno aur ban jao Krishn**

Moor mukut pitambar odey
chude jo narkori
sawariya ke rang rangi hai
barsane ke gori

Murlidhar ke adhar dhari
so murli adhar lagai
Kanha ban ... Radhe Shyam Hare ...
Jai Jai Shri shyam Hare.

Pehle kafir natwarnagar
bane Radhika Rani
Nain jhukaye laaj mein doobi
surat lage suhani
vanshi dharke rumjhum rumjhum
payaliya hai jhankai
Kanha ban ... Radhe Shyam Hare ...
Jai Jai Shri shyam Hare.

**Krishna - aise kya dekh rahe ko Kanha, main Radha hun tumhari Radha...**

**Radha - Kanha, Radha ka vesh pehene se tum Radha nahin banoge, ismein Radha ki aatma ka hona aawashchak hai, tsb tumhein Radha ke dhadkte hue hriday se Krishn ka jaap sunai dega, tb tumhari aankhein mukurayegi bhi aur saath saath prem ki peda se aanson bhi bahayegi, tab tum jaan paoge Kanha, ki Radha ko tumse milan ki sadiv aas kyun lagi rehti hai, jab tumse milna hota hai, tab Radha prasan hoti hai, anandit bhi hoti hai, parantu bichdne ke vichar se mann vichlit bhi hota hai. **
