Ekli Gher Lai Madhuban Mein Shyam Tene Kaisi Thani Re

श्य़ामराधे कोई ना कहता,

कहते राधेश्य़ाम

जन्म जन्म के भाग जगा दे,

ईक राधा का नाम ।

राधा के बिना श्य़ाम है आधा,

कहते राधेश्य़ाम ।

बोलो राधे-राधे राधे-राधे

राधे-राधे श्य़ाम ।।

वर्य़्थ पड़ा माला बिन मोती,

वर्य़्थ बिना दीपक के ज्य़ोति

चंदा बिना चाँदनी कैसी,

सूरज बिना धूप ना होती ।

बिन राधा के कहाँ है पूरा,

नटनागर का नाम

बोलो राधे-राधे राधे-राधे

राधे-राधे श्य़ाम ।।

साथ है जैसे जल की धारा

साथ है जैसे नदी किनारा

साथ है जैसे नील गगन के

सूरज चंदा तारा तारा ।

वैसे

I was walking along the beach with the lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belongs to me, the other to the Lord.

After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints.

This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it. “Lord, you said
