Does anyone know the lyrics to the bandish "Anokha laadla"? I have
heard Bade Ghulam Ali Khan sing for a drut Darbari Kanada (in teen
taal). What does anokha laadla refer to? Sri Krishna, the "laadla" of
Yashoda?

This is what I recall from memory.. Corrections appreciated.

========
anokhaa laaDlaa, ae maaN
khelan ko maange chandaa ||

khelan koodan ko raar karat hai
man meiN bhayo anandaa ||
========

I would tend to agree with the subject being little Krishna.

Hm. The story of asking for the moon appears in Ramayana.
Is Krishna credited with a similar demand?

I think it's actually about the Ramayana episode you mention.

I think so too. Mujahid Hussain Khan of the Rampur-Sahaswan Gharana
mentioned at a private concert that this is a reference to Hanuman.
Otoh, afaik it was the sun he wanted to play with.

Hymn to Krishna greatness (even sung by muslim vocalists, like Slamat &
Nazakat Ali Khan, or elder Dagar brothers bandish):

Anokha ladla khelan ko maange chaand re
anokha ladla
kaisee anokhee baat re, anokha ladla

tan ke ghaao to bhar gaye daata,
man ka naheen bhar pata
jee ka haal samajh nahee aata (x2)
kaisee anokhee baat re, anokha ladla

pyaas bujhe kab ek darshan se
tam sulge bus ek agan mein
man bole rakh loon nainun mein
kaisee anokhee baat re, anokha ladla
