Aisi Laagi Lagan - Meerabai

Aisi laagi lagan, Meera ho gayi magan,
woh to gali gali hari gun gaane lagi,
mehlon mein pali,ban ke jogan chali,
meera rani deewani kahane lagi.

Aisi laagi lagan..

Koi roke nahi, koi toke nahi,
meera govind gopal gaane lagi,
baith santon ke sang,rangi Mohan ke rang,
Meera premi pritam ko bulaane lagi
woh to gali gali hari gun gaane lagi....

Aisi laagi lagan..

rana ne vish diya, maano amrit piya,
meera sagar mein sarita samaane lagi,
dukh laakhon sahe,mukh se govind kahe,
Meera premi pritam ko bulaane lagi
woh to gali gali hari gun gaane lagi....

Aisi laagi lagan..

Meera Bai was born a princess in Merta, Rajasthan, India (1499 - 1546 A.D)
She was one of the foremost exponents of the Prema Bhakti (Divine Love) and an inspired poetess. She is regarded as an incarnation of Radha. She sang in vraja-bhAshA, sometimes mixed with rAjasthAni, in praise of Giridhara GopAla (Shri Krishna), her lord for whom she developed in her heart the most intense love and devotion.
Meera occupies indeed a sacred place in the history of Indian thought and culture for her deep and passionate religious devotion, as also for her poetry in which her genius was well revealed, and which was never bereft of beauty in the true sense of the term. Her odes and hymns are so rich, sweet and inspiring, not because of any high rhetoric or dexterity of language, but because they are characterized by a tenderness and simplicity of feeling as genuine outpourings of a heart completely dedicated to God.
