Surdas swami karunamaya
Barambar namo sir naayi
Charan kamal bando hari rai
Surdas ji .....a legend of medeivial India , a contemporary of Tulsidas , Meerabai , Raidas , Raskhan , was a Krishna Lover who was so much impressed with "Krishna Baal leela" .Almost his all creations illustrate the Childhood events in sri Krishna's life .He was blind but was happy with his blindness .He refused to have eyes saying that if by having eyes he has to see this ugly world which is made up of sorrow , calamities , death etc it would be much better to be blind where atleast he can see the Lord sitting inside his eyes . It is so strange that he couldnt see but just by hearing his Lord's actions he has written so many extremely beautiful songs in his appraisal .It is not an exaggration to say that he spoke by eyes of mind that was energized and enlightened by Krishna's devotion .See the following Picture made by an artist who shows how little Krishna used to entertain his devotee .
Lyrics -
Karat shringar maiya man bhavat
sheetal jal pato kari rakhyo
naina ran ko ubati nhavavat
ang angochh chauki baithavat
prathamahi let paniya bharavat
dekho mere lal aur sab balak
ghar ghar dekhe ban aavat
pahiro lal jhaga te sundar
ankhiyan anj ke tilak banawat
surdas prabhu khelat aangan
let balaiya mod badhavat
Nain ghat ghatatan ek ghari
Lyrics-
nain ghat ghatat na ek ghari
tabhu na nikasi swas
paawas brij lagi rahat jhari

ura hui unag bhari
sabri kul ki ek bhayi braj me
yahi bich ulati ghari
surdas prabhu tumhare bicchude
kul marjad gayi
udho jog sikhavan
Lyrics-
shringi bhasma adhari mundra
dayi brijnath pathaye

murali shabd sunat bawar kari
sutpati grah bisraye
surdas sang chhadi shyam ko

I felicitate you by bringing my heads down over and over again.

At that time whatever he narrated all those words are the important part of "Srimad Bhagwat Mahapurana " and this whole instance is collected together as "Gajendra Moksha".
Oh Govind Oh Gopal ,keep me in your shelter as I am loosing my life .
I went to drink the water at the bank of river .In the river there lies an alligator who has grabbed my legs and thus he is drawing me in the water .
Whole day we had a conflict but he taken me to the edge , now my nose and ears are drowned and are calling only Krishna .
Sur das ji says that the elephant says Oh Shyam please listen to me I am only in your shelter .Oh dearest of Nand ji this time you take me accross this jolt .

Find meaning of the song -
The Lord who removes the pain of the poor and is well doer of the saints
Azamil , the vulture , the hunter ,, say who was perfect among them ,
Who gave a higher destination to a bird and made the Ganika (a man who lives with a prostitute. -here Azamil )to move accross this bhavasagar...
Who versed Druva's head with canopy, and saved Prahalad
For the sake of devotee who constructed the bridge by going to Lanka puri .
When the alligator grabbed the Gajraj (the elephant) in his jaws ...who came to save him ..
When Duhshashan unwinded the clothes (of Draupadi) ,
Draupadi called up "Krihsna Krishna " in the Hall ..
Just then ,( you) Hari reached there and adjointed Himself in the clothes .
Surdas , a blind begger , is standing on Your doorsteps -
When You can do so much and show your grace upon these people ,
Please be kind towards me too .

Sur kito jiya sukh paavat hai, nirkhat shyam tamal
Raj aaraj lagyo meri akhiyan,roge dosh janjaal
रानी तेरो चिरजीयो गोपाल ।
बेगिबडो बढि होय विरध लट, महरि मनोहर बाल॥१॥
उपजि पर्यो यह कूंखि à¤ाग्य बल, समुद्र सीप जैसे लाल।
सब गोकुल के प्राण जीवन धन, बैरिन के उरसाल॥२॥
सूर कितो जिय सुख पावत हैं, निरखत श्याम तमाल।
रज आरज लागो मेरी अंखियन, रोग दोष जंजाल॥३।

Gopis after Krishnas departure from Gokul become very sad and at this they say -
our eyes are thirsty for a glance of lord .
they want to see
lotus eyes and so they remain sad each day.
He has a mark of saffron on forehead and who wears the necklace of pearl and who is the resident of Vrindavan,
binding us in the bond of love has left like a straw and it seems that he has fastened us with the rope around our neck .
The Gopis say who knows the inside of anyone's mind , people just keep on laughing in their mind about one's situation .Surdas ji says that the gopi's are saying that oh lord without your presence Kashi has also become restless ....then what about us ?

Suni ri maine nirbal ke bal ram
pichhali sakh dharun santan ki ade sanwaren kaaj

ap bal tap bal aur bahu bal chautha bal hai baldam
sur kishore kripa te tab bal haare ko hari naam
Meaning-
Surdas ji says that I have heard that the power of weak is Ram .
If I take an account of the saints in the past He has made all aggravated tasks .
Till the gajraaj used up his strength he wasnt able to do anything but as he got weak and called up Ram ,the Lord reached there so fast that even gajraj had just narrated half of Lord's name .
The day when daughter of Drupad got weak ,He came leaving his abode .He took the form of saaree and the hands of Duhshashan got tired while winding it off .
The power of enchanting , the power of penance and the power of arms and the fourth power is of lord .
Surdas ji says all powers are due to grace of "Kishore" so those who have become loosers should only remember the name of "Hari".

Meaning -
He, who holds our heart, has gone away.
He has settled himself in Dwarika which is situated on the bank of saline river (for the sea)
and has forgotten the pain of the gopis of braj .He has become so much harsh .
When ever we remember that sweet look , a pain arises in our heart .
His dancing guise ,big lotus eyes and beautiful dark body .
He has left Vrindavan , the place where he used to play on flute and the fresh water of Yamuna
Surdas ji says that one of the gopis named Sarita said "afterall he belongs to the caste milkmaid".

Naina bhayen anath humare
Lyrics -
Naina bhayen anath humare
madangupal yahan te sajani suniyat door sidhare
vai hari jal hum meen bapuri kaise jivahi niyare
hum chatak chakor shyamal ghan badan sunidhi piyare
madhuban basat aas darshan ki nain joi mag haare
Sur shyam kari piya aisi , mritak hute puni maare
Meaning -
Our eyes have become orphan
Madan Gopal has departed quite distant from here .
That Hari is water and we are crazy fishes .How can we live without him ?
we are chatak (a bird ) and Chakor is that who have cloud coloured dark body .We love that ocean of beautiful face .He dwells in Madhuban , we have the hope of his glance , our eyes are tired of waiting on the way .
Surdas ji says that shyam loves in the way that he is killing them who are already dead .

Hum bhagatan ke bhagat humare
Lyrics -
Hum bhagatan ke bhagat humare
sun arju partgya mori yah brat tarat na taare
Bhagatan kaaj laaj hiya dhari ke paanya piyade dhayo
jah jah bheer pare bhagtan pe tah tah hot sahayo
jo bhagtan se bair karat hai so nij bairi mero
dekh bichar bhagat hit kaaran haankat hau rath tero
jeete jeet bhagat apne ki haare haar bicharo
Sur Shyam jo bhagat virodhi chakra sudarshan maro
There is a nice story of Raja Ambareesh that can be narrated in context of above bhajan ...
It is good if people know it or if does not know ... must concentrate.By chance it is a pious day of Ekadashi today when I am going to write this b'ful story full of devotion and love .This is one of those chapters from the Bhagwada Mahapuran that my papa always used to say me to read and always applauded my way of reading ... :)
Its just summary here ...
King Ambareesh was a great devotee of lodr Vishnu .He used to keep fast on the pious day of Ekadashi for the happiness of Lord Vishnu .Once he arranged a ceremony to make an end of his fast .There he invited so many sages.Among those invited people were the most famous Durvasha Rishi .He said that King please wait for us untill we get a bath from the river .He went with his deciples and the appropriate time for ending the fast was passing by as they were delaying come back . All other sages said to Ambareesh to give an end to the fast just by drinking water so that he may not violate the laws os ending the fast and not even could hurt and make an abuse of Durvasha rishi .But as the rishi reached there he saw that all the functions progressing without his presence .He got angry enough to produce a she-demon "Kritya" who started stepping towards Ambareesh to destroy him .Just at this the Sudarshan Chakra of Lord Vishnu reached there as it has been alloted to save the King by the lord .It first killed Kritya and after that it followed Sage Durvasha .Now he ran to all the three lokas and then to Brahmaji and Shivji who refused to save him from that Sudarshan Chakra saying that it can only be controlled by Lord Vishnu .Then finally Durvasha ji reached Vishnu ji
Then the lord said "Durvasha ji , My devotees are my heart and I am my devotees heart .They dont know anything except me and I dont know anything except them .Those who have left everything of theirs for me , how can I ever think of leaving them .The humble devotees never do wrong with others and if somebody tries to do wrong for them how they can be rescued .Even I am not able to redempt you from this .Guilt against whom is done only he can save you .So please go to Ambareesh He will save you .Durvasha ji went to Ambareesh asking for deliverance from the guilt and said you are great o King,please forgive me .Then the King requested the Sudarshan chakra to leave chasing Durvasha ji .And then he fell in the Brahmins feet to say O great sage please dont ask for forgiveness from me as it will blur the glory of my ancestors beacuse Brahmins have always been respectful to us .
