“उगना रे मोर कतय गेलाह”
Maithili Lyrics
उगना रे मोर कतय गेलाह कतय गेलाह शिव, कतय गेलाह। भाँग धतुरबा, हम पीस बैसेलहुँ बसाहा चढ़ि कतय गेलाह। गौरी के संगे, गिरिजा के संगे कैलास छोड़ि कतय गेलाह। भटकत फिरैछी, वन-वन हम दर्शन दिअ, अब नहिं तड़पाव विद्यापति के, स्वामी कहाव उगना रूप, फेर देखाव।
Meaning & Context
A Nachari composed by Vidyapati where he (as a devotee) searches for Lord Shiva who lived with him as a servant named 'Ugna'. When Shiva disappears, Vidyapati cries out in separation, wandering the forest asking for one more glimpse.
