The festivity of Janmashtami will be incomplete without singing bhajans or hymns in praise of lord Krishna. There are various bhajans describing the feats and accomplishments of Lord. Few of the bhajans are listed below to be sung during Janmashtami.

Bhajo Radhe Govinda

Bhajo Radhe Govinda
Gopala Tera pyara naam hai
Gopala Tera pyara naam hai
Nandalala Tera pyara naam hai

Mor mukat maathe tilak viraje
Gale vaijanthimala Gale vaijanthimala
Koi kahe Vasudev ka Nandan
Koi kahe Nandalala Koi kahe Nandalala
Bhajo Radhe Govinda . . .

Gaj aur Grehe lade jal bitar
Jal mein chakra chalaya Jal mein chakra chalaya
Jab jab bhid padi bhagaton par
Nanggi pairin dhaya Nanggi pairin dhaya
Bhajo Radhe Govinda.

Mere Pyare Madan Gopal

Choti choti gaiyan, chote chote gawaal,
chote se mere, madan gopal

mor mukut mathe saaje, gale mein swaranmaal,
chote se mere madan gopal

Kaano mein karanphool, haathon mein ratnajadhit hath haar,
chote se mere madan gopal

pitamber saaje tan pe, uspe sundar motiyon ki maal
chote se mere madan gopal

pairon mein jhanjhar sohe, jab nache hari angana dwaar.
Chote se mere madan gopal

Bhaye sab ke mann ko bal gopal,Karke solah shringar,
chote se mere Madan Gopal

Nandlal Tohri Mahima Aparampar

Mere pyare nandlal, kaise karoon tohri mahima ka bakhan,
janam liya mathura nagariya, karne danavon ka sanghar
kaise karoon tohri mahima ka Bakhan.

Janam data thi Devki Mata, Yashoda ko bhi diya maa ka samman
kaise karoon tohri mahima ka bakhan

Putana ko mukt kiya, har liye Kansa ke pran
kaise karoon tohri mahima ka bakhan.

Gopiyon sang raas kiya, Radha ko diya sampurna pyar.
Kaise karoon tohri mahima ka bakhan.

Chaliyon sang chal kiya, deeno sang seedha vyavhar,
kaise karoon tohri mahima ka bakhan.

Pandavon ka saath diya, Kauravon ko diya pachhar,
kaise karoon tohri mahima ka bakhan.

Mere pyare nandlal kaise karoon tohri mahima ka bakhan

Darsh Do Mohe Girdhari

More pranpriye Krishna, more pyare Girdhari,
Darsh do mohe, More pran chhootat jat.

Main neech nirbal prani, chahta jana chhodd duniya ka sath,
Darsh do mohe, more pran chhootat jat.

moh maya ke is bhanwar se ,do mujhe ab ubhar,
Darsh do mohe, more pran chhootat jat.

Karm ki gathariya ho gayi bhari, karo mera uddhar,
Darsh do mohe , more pran chhootat jat.

Sumiran kar tera antim kshan mein, mujhe milega swarg ka dwar,
Darsh do mohe , more pran chhootat jat.

More Pyare Girdhari. Sun lo ab arz humari,
Darsh de mohe , more pran chhootat jat

Rang le khudko, Murari ke rang

Jeevan ke sab rang hain jhoote
Rang lo mohe, apne rang mein Murari.

Mrigtrishna ke is jaal se ab karo mukti humari,
Rang lo Mohe, apne rang mein Murari.

Dukh-sukh, paap-punya hain aane jane.
Rang lo mohe, apne rang mein Murari

Mayajaal ke rang hai kacche, bas tohre naam ke pukke,
Rang lo mohe, apne rang mein Murari

Tohre naam se hoga is bhav sagar ka paar
Rang lo mohe, apne rang main Murari
