sānci kaho Mana-Mohana: Tell me the truth, Krishna! Only then will I play Holi with you!
sānci kaho Mana-Mohana moso to khelo tuma sanga hori
“Tell me the truth, Krishna! Only then will I play Holi with you.
Where did you stay last night? Whom did you coerce?
Betel stains on your face, scratches on your back,
and at your heart an imprinted necklace with no strings.
What’s in your heart is not what it looks like on the surface!
The way you move is another thing altogether.
Tell me, you savvy Enchanter. What do you think I’m a fool?
You’ve come back in the morning and try to pursuade me with your excuses?
Suradasa Prabhu, don’t be like this!
Come forward and be direct, what’s the point in trying to hide?”
Nanda’s son does just as He likes, now that Holi has come.
sānci kaho Mana-Mohana moso to khelo tuma sanga hori ।
āju ki raina kahā rahe Mohana? Kaha karī barajorī ? ।।१।।
mukha para pīka pīṭhi para kankana hiye hāra bina ḍorī ।
jiya men ora ūpara kachu aure cāla calata kachu orī।।२।।
mohi batāvata Mohana nāgara kahā mohi jānata bhorī ? ।
bhora bhaye āye ho Mohana bāta kahata kachu jorī ।।३।।
Sūradāsa prabhu esī na kīje āya milo kahā corī ।
mana māne tyo karata Nandasuta ab āī he horī ।।४।।
सांची कहो मनमोहन मोसो तो खेलों तुम संग होरी ।
आज कि रैन कहाँ रहे मोहन कहां करी बरजोरी ।।१।।
मुख पर पीक पीठिपर कंकन हियें हार बिन डोरी ।
जियमें ओर ऊपर कछु औरे चाल चलत कछु ओरी ।।२।।
मोहि बतावत मोहन नागर कहा मोहि जानत भोरी ।।
भोर भये आये हों मोहन बात कहत कछु जोरी ।।३।।
सूरदास प्रभु ऐसी न कीजे आय मिलो कहा चोरी ।।
मनमानें त्यों करत नंदसुत अब आई हे होरी ।।४।।
