The bhajan “Are Dwarpalo Kanhaiya Se Kehdo” is a devotional song that narrates the story of Sudama’s humble visit to Lord Krishna’s palace. Sudama, a childhood friend of Krishna, arrives with hope and faith, seeking help in his impoverished state. The song beautifully depicts his journey, his request to the palace guards to inform Krishna of his arrival, and the warm, affectionate reunion between the two friends, much to Rukmini’s surprise.
The bhajan is traditionally sung by popular artists like Lakhbir Singh Lakha and has been covered by others as well, including female versions by singers like Swasti Mehul.
Are Dwarpalo Kanhaiya Se Kehdo Lyrics English Translation
Dekho Dekho Ye Gareebi Ye Gareebi Ka Haal
Look, look at this state of poverty, how dire it is.
Krishna Ke Dar Pe Vishwas Leke Aaya Hu
I have come to Lord Krishna’s doorstep, full of faith.
Mere Bachpan Yaar Hai Mera Shyam
Shyam (Lord Krishna), my childhood friend, is my companion.
Yahi Soch Kar Mein Aas Karke Aaya Hoon!
With this thought, I have come here with hope!
Are Dwaarpaalon Kanha Se Keh Do
Oh, gatekeepers, please tell Lord Krishna,
Ki Dar Pe Sudama Gareeb Aa Gaya Hai
That Sudama, a poor man, has arrived at his door.
Bhatakte Bhatakte Na Jaane Kahan Se
Wandering aimlessly, I don’t even know from where,
Tumhare Mahal Ke Kareeb Aa Gaya Hai
I have somehow reached near your palace.
O Are Dwaarpaalon Kanha Se Keh Do
Oh, gatekeepers, please tell Lord Krishna,
Ki Dar Pe Sudama Gareeb Aa Gaya Hai
That Sudama, a poor man, has arrived at his door.
Na Sar Pe Hai Pagdi Na Tan Pe Hai Jama
I have no turban on my head, no proper clothes on my body,
Bata Do Kanha Ko Naam Hai Sudama
Just tell Lord Krishna that my name is Sudama.
Ek Baar Mohan Se Jaakar Ke Keh Do
Please, go once and tell Lord Krishna,
Tum Ek Baar Mohan Se Jaakar Ke Keh Do
Please, go once and tell Lord Krishna,
Ki Milne Sakha Badnaseeb Aa Gaya Hai
That his unfortunate friend has come to meet him.
Ki Dar Pe Sudama Gareeb Aa Gaya Hai
That Sudama, a poor man, has arrived at his door.
O Are Dwaarpaalon Kanha Se Keh Do
Oh, gatekeepers, please tell Lord Krishna,
Ki Dar Pe Sudama Gareeb Aa Gaya Hai
That Sudama, a poor man, has arrived at his door.
Sunte Hi Daude Chale Aaye Mohan
As soon as he heard, Krishna ran to him,
Lagaya Gale Se Sudama Ko Mohan
And embraced Sudama tightly.
Hua Rukmani Ko Bahut Hi Achamba
Rukmini, Krishna’s consort, was deeply surprised,
Ye Mehmaan Kaisa Ajeeb Aa Gaya Hai
What an unusual guest has arrived here.
Ki Dar Pe Sudama Gareeb Aa Gaya Hai
That Sudama, a poor man, has arrived at his door.
O Are Dwaarpaalon Kanha Se Keh Do
Oh, gatekeepers, please tell Lord Krishna,
Ki Dar Pe Sudama Gareeb Aa Gaya Hai
That Sudama, a poor man, has arrived at his door.
Barabar Mein Apne Sudama Baithaaye
Krishna seated Sudama next to him, as an equal,
Charan Aason Se Shyam Ne Dhulaaye
And washed his feet with his own tears.
Na Ghabraao Pyaare Zara Tum Sudama
Don’t worry, my dear Sudama,
Khushi Ka Samaa Tere Kareeb Aa Gaya
A time of happiness has come close to you.
Ki Dar Pe Sudama Gareeb Aa Gaya Hai
That Sudama, a poor man, has arrived at his door.
Are Dwaarpaalon Kanha Se Keh Do
Oh, gatekeepers, please tell Lord Krishna,
Ki Dar Pe Sudama Gareeb Aa Gaya Hai
That Sudama, a poor man, has arrived at his door.
Ki Dar Pe Sudama Gareeb Aa Gaya Hai
That Sudama, a poor man, has arrived at his door.
