Today we have brought some beautiful couplets of Surdas which have a live depiction of Lord Krishna's pastimes.
मैया मोहि दाऊ बहुत खिझायौ।
मोसौं कहत मोल कौ लीन्हौ, तू जसुमति कब जायौ?
कहा करौं इहि के मारें खेलन हौं नहि जात।
पुनि–पुनि कहत कौन है माता, को है तेरौ तात?
गोरे नन्द जसोदा गोरी तू कत स्यामल गात।
चुटकी दै–दै ग्वाल नचावत हँसत–सबै मुसकात।
तू मोहीं को मारन सीखी दाउहिं कबहुँ न खीझै।
मोहन मुख रिस की ये बातैं, जसुमति सुनि–सुनि रीझै।
सुनहु कान्ह बलभद्र चबाई, जनमत ही कौ धूत।
सूर स्याम मौहिं गोधन की सौं, हौं माता तो पूत॥
Meaning: In this couplet, Sri Krishna complains to his mother Yashoda that his elder brother Balaram teases him a lot. He tells his mother that you have bought me for money, you have not given birth to me. So, I will not go to play with Balarama.
Balarama repeatedly asks Shri Krishna, who are your real parents? He tells me that Nand Baba and Maiya Yashoda are white but how am I black? He dances again and again. All the cowherds also laugh to hear this.
Mother! You only hit me, you never hit Dau (Balarama). You take an oath and tell me that I am your son. Mother Yashoda enjoys listening to all these things of Krishna.

मुखहिं बजावत बेनु धनि यह बृंदावन की रेनु।
नंदकिसोर चरावत गैयां मुखहिं बजावत बेनु॥
मनमोहन को ध्यान धरै जिय अति सुख पावत चैन।
चलत कहां मन बस पुरातन जहां कछु लेन न देनु॥
इहां रहहु जहं जूठन पावहु ब्रज बासिनि के ऐनु।
सूरदास ह्यां की सरवरि नहिं कल्पबृच्छ सुरधेनु॥
Meaning: It is based on the Doha Raga Sarang. In this couplet, Surdas says that the land of Braj is blessed because Nanda's son Shri Krishna climbs his cows here and he plays the flute. By meditating on Manmohan i.e. Shri Krishna, the mind gets ultimate peace. Influencing the mind, Surdas Ji says, O mind! Where do you wander here and there? Staying in Braj, staying beyond practicality leads to happiness. Here neither you must take from anyone nor give it to anyone. All are getting meditated towards God. They ask their mind to remain in Braj.
Everyone gets happiness and peace here. Here everyone is composed in his tune. Nobody has anything to do with anyone. They say that by staying in Braj, they get some food from the leftover food in the utensils of the Brajwasis, & they get satisfaction. Kamdhenu cannot even equate Brajbhoomi.
“चरन कमल बंदौ हरि राई
जाकी कृपा पंगु गिरि लंघै आंधर कों सब कछु दरसाई॥
बहिरो सुनै मूक पुनि बोलै रंक चले सिर छत्र धराई
सूरदास स्वामी करुनामय बार–बार बंदौं तेहि पाई ॥
Meaning: In this couplet, Surdas has described the glory of Shri Krishna. According to Surdas, on being pleased by Shri Krishna, a lame person also crosses the mountain. The deaf person starts hearing everything, the dumb person starts speaking and the poor person becomes rich, Surdas says that I bow at the feet of the Lord again and again.
अबिगत गति कछु कहति न आवै।
ज्यों गूंगो मीठे फल की रस अन्तर्गत ही भावै॥
परम स्वादु सबहीं जु निरन्तर अमित तोष उपजावै।
मन बानी कों अगम अगोचर सो जाने जो पावै॥
रूप रैख गुन जाति जुगति बिनु निरालंब मन चकृत धावै।
सब बिधि अगम बिचारहिं तातों सूर सगुन लीला पद गावै॥२॥
Meaning: In this couplet, Surdas says that some things are such that only the mind can understand. Just like if a sweet is fed to a dumb, he cannot describe its taste, but his mind can understand that feeling.
In the same way, there is no form, nor quality, of the formless Brahma God. The mind cannot be stable there. Only Surdas can understand the pleasure that he gets when he describes the child activities of Shri Krishna. They can only be felt & it gives him immense pleasure when he describes it.
