Gurudeva Krpa Karke Mujhko Apana Lena

1

gurudeva,
kṛpā karke mujhko apanā lenā maiṅ śaraṇa paḍā terī,
caraṇoṅ meṅ jagaha denā

Gurudeva, bestow your mercy on me and accept me as your own. I have taken shelter of you. Please give me a place at your lotus feet.

2

karuṇā-nidhi nāma terā,
karuṇā barasao tum soye huye bhagya ko,
he nātha jagāo tum merī nāva bhãvara dole,
use pāra lagā denā

Please shower your mercy on me because you are renowned as a storehouse of mercy. O my Lord, only then will my sleeping fortune wake up. My boat is caught in a whirlpool. Please take me across this turbulent ocean.

3

tum sukh ke sāgara ho,
bhakti ke sahāre ho mere man meṅ samāe ho,
mujhe prāṇoṅ se pyāre ho nita mālā japū terī,
mere doṣa bhulā denā

You are the ocean of happiness and shelter for bhakti. You are dearer to me than my life and are always on my mind. I chant your name every day. Please ignore my faults.

4

maiṅ santoṅ kā sevaka hūṅ,
guru caraṇoṅ kā dāsa hūṅ nahīṅ nātha bhulānā mujhe,
is jaga meṅ akelā hūṅ tere dvār kā bhikhārī hūṅ,
nahīṅ dil se bhulā denā

I am a servant of the Vaisnavas and of the lotus feet of my Guru. Please do not forget me because I am all alone, O Lord. I am a beggar at your door. Please do not ignore me at heart.
