Ghar dassan main ki sahib da kar na sakke jeebh byan; Arban naad karorhan vaje raag ehde dar tarle pan. Bhairvi ithhe gidda paye nach nach gaunda ey malihar; Devi dev rababi ehde dharmraj ne chhohe tar. Athsath teerath kikli paunde pariyan chherhe sur te taan; Gaavan sidhh Samadhi baithe gaavan pandat shekhh sujan. Toon ey sachcha sahib mera nan tera sachiyaee ey; Jinhan satgur pura labha ramaz unhan ne paee ey. Jo kujh hain tun aap swami rachna khoob rachaee ey; Kahe avtar hon sabh da dasa sabh teri vadiyaee ey. |

What do I say about the Almighty’s abode, my tongue cannot describe it; Billions of trumpets and millions of musical instruments play and the melodies implore at His doorstep. The classical Raga Bhairavi performs the folk dance-Gidda and the Raga Malhar also sings and dances; Gods and Goddesses are the players of His violin and the Lord of Death plays the chord. Sixty-eight places of pilgrimage dance with joy while fairies play the tunes and the rhythm; Men with supernatural powers (siddhas) sing His praise in trance and so do the learned Hindu and Muslim clergy. Thou art my True Lord-God, Truth is Thy name; Those who have found the perfect True Master, have known the Divine Secret. O’Lord, whatever Thou art, it is by Thyself and wonderful is Thy creation; Avtar says, I am the servant of all, and all the greatness is Thy own. |
Meaning
My words fail to express and describe the abode of the Lord Master. Millions of musical instruments play the melodies at His doorstep. Melodies like Bhairavi and Malhaar sing and dance at His door. Male and female deities play music for Him, and the Lord of Death pulls the chord. Sixty eight places of pilgrimage play around and make merry and the fairies play the music. The ascetics in meditation and the learned clergy sing your praise. You are my True Lord and your name is Truth. Only those who found the Perfect Master could unravel the divine mystery. Your art is your own will and your creation is splendid. Avtar says, I am the humblest of the humble and that all the magnificence and grace belongs to Thee.
