Lyrics
Madhuban me jo kanhaiya kisee gopi se mile
Kabhee muskaye, kabhee chhede, kabhee bat kare
Radha kaise naa jale, radha kaise naa jale
Aag tan mann me lage, (radha kaise naa jale -2)
Madhuban me bhale kanha kisee gopi se mile
Mann me toh radha ke hee prem ke hain phul khile
Kis liye radha jale, kis liye radha jale
Bina soche samjhe, (kis liye radha jale -2)
(O, gopiya tare hain, chand hai radha
Phir kyun hai usako biswas aadha) - (2)
Kanhaji kaa jo sada idhar udhar dhyan rahe
Radha bechari ko phir apane pe kya maan rahe
Gopiya aani jani hain, radha toh mann kee rani hai - (2)
Sanjh sakhare jamna kinare, radha radha hee kanha pukare
Oye hoye, oye hoye
Baaho ke har jo dale koee kanha ke gale
Radha kaise naa jale, radha kaise naa jale
Aag tan mann me lage, (radha kaise naa jale -2)
Mann me hai radhe ko kanha jo basaye
Toh kanha kahe ko usse naa bataye
Prem kee apanee alag boli, alag bhasa hai
Bat nainon se ho kanha kee yahi aasa hai
Kanha ke yeh jo naina hain, chhine gopiyo ke chaina hain - (2)
Milee najariya hui bawariya, goree goree see koee gujariya
Kanha kaa pyar kisee gopi ke mann me jo pale
Kis liye radha jale, radha jale, radha jale
Radha kaise naa jale, kis liye radha jale
Radha kaise naa jale, (kis liye radha jale -2)
Radha kaise naa jale, (kis liye radha jale -2)
Aah, aah, aah, aah............
Radha kaise naa jale - (3)
