दूर नगरी बड़ी दूर नगरी-नगरी कैसे आऊं मैं तेरी गोकुल नगरी दूर नगरी बड़ी दूर नगरी
रात को आऊं कान्हा डर माही लागे दिन को आऊं तो देखे सारी नगरी। दूर नगरी॥।
सखी संग आऊं कान्हा शर्म मोहे लागे अकेली आऊं तो भूल जाऊं तेरी डगरी। दूर नगरी॥॥।
धीरे-धीरे चलूं तो कमर मोरी लचके झटपट चलूं तो छलका गगरी। दूर नगरी॥॥
मीरा कहे प्रभु गिरधर नागर तुमरे दरस बिन मैं तो हो गई बावरी। दूर नगरी॥॥

Radha, the Beloved of Krishna
This transcendent portrait captures the very essence of divine longing. Painted in the evocative style of the Kishangarh school, the work illustrates the idealized form of Radha, the eternal soul in search of her beloved Krishna. Her features are rendered with poetic precision, drawing upon ancient Sanskrit metaphors: her eyes are likened to the lotus, her brows to the curvature of a hunting bow, her chin to a mango stone, and her nose to the delicate beak of a parrot. The grace of her posture and the ethereal quality of her adornments invite the viewer into a space of spiritual devotion, reflecting a deep, meditative love that transcends the physical realm.
