कन्हैया हालरू रे । गुढि गुढि ल्यायो बढई धरनी पर डोलाई बलि हालरू रे ॥१॥ इक लख मांगे बढै दुई नंद जु देहिं बलि हालरू रे । रत पटित बर पालनौ रेसम लागी डोर बलि हालरू रे ॥२॥ कबहुँक झूलै पालना कबहुँ नन्द की गोद बलि हालरू रे । झूलै सखी झुलावहीं सूरदास, बलि जाइ बलि हालरू रे ॥३॥

The Poet

सूरदास

Surdas

c. 1478 · c. 1583

Surdas represents the absolute zenith of the Bhakti movement in North India. Born in the late fifteenth century and believed to have been blind from birth, he did not need physical sight to observe the intricate beauty of the divine. He became the foremost poet of the Ashtachhap, a group of eight mystic poets dedicated to Lord Krishna. Composing entirely in Brajbhasha, Surdas authored the monumental Sur Sagar, a collection of thousands of devotional songs that remain deeply ingrained in the cultural memory of India. He wrote with an unparalleled understanding of child psychology, capturing the innocent mischief of the infant Krishna with a tenderness that no other poet has ever matched. His verses are not merely literature. They are the musical foundation of Vaishnava devotion. Five centuries later, his words continue to echo in temples and classical music concerts, offering eternal comfort to the human soul.
