I may have a thousand talents-

but all are worldly entanglements

if not used to praise you, O Satguru, my Lord!

All useless unless used to glorify Your Name.

Give me such a talent, my Guru-

a talent that may please You.

Oh how can I please You?

You are said to be Paarbrahm, the Beyond Soul,

You are infinite, the Greatest, Our Holy Father.

O Lord - just what am I! Oh so insignificant!

What could I possibly do to earn your loving grace, O Hari!

Forgive me, Lord, forgive me-

I am such a sinner!

Chant, chant, chant, o foolish mind!

why think of others?

He and she, young or old, mother or brother,

the dust is the same,

the air is the same,

and there is this One Glorious Light-

O Lord, why do I not have the courage to face the reality!

It is all you, all you-

why is it hard to convince the mind?!

Please convince this mind, O Lord-

please don't play tricks on poor me, O Lord!

You are so mischevious, O sweetest one

How could I even live without you, you are such an enticer, O Mohan!

I'm so gullible and then who can You not fool?

I sell my mind to you a million times-

Please make me follow you,

I cannot myself;

Everything is in Your hands,

O Doer of all.

O mind, why do you have doubts?

The Word is the Guru;

O Mohan, what a fool I am!

Please make me your perfect disciple

that I may please you - O Lord!

Come, show me your glorious sight, O Lord

Love me, smile at me, entice me O Mohan!

Such a teaser you are, my playful Krsna

Oh your lotus eyes, O Nirankaar jeeo!

Mad, mad I am in your love at times- why can't this be always?

Make me mad, madly mad in your love-

this is the desire of my life, O Guru,

may I forever stick to Your feet.

The best of all meditations,

the purest, the most effective-

is the constant glorification of Your Name

with one-pointed mind.

O Lord, hallowed be Thy Name,

hallowed be Thy Name.

O Lord, just how does this worm beg Your Great Self

for the great gift of lovingly serving You and being conscious of You every moment?

O Lord of the world

You were born in the beautiful household

of Guru Ramdas;

By whose grace, You became the Guru.

Blessed, blessed was the day, the time!

O Guru Arjun, O angelic One,

O One with a sweet face, O One with the lotus eyes

What great destiny the world had-

To see Your coming.

Blessed, blessed are You, O Lord

You are the Glory of the Formless Lord.

You are the Highest Saint, the Greatest Yogi

the greatest Spiritual Master the world has ever seen.

The whole earth starts dancing in Your presence!

You are the Hero, one truly worthy of honour,

You are the victor, the true winner.

You reached heights by stepping low

You fought hate with love;

Your glory is beyond words.

You are the Lord's very own,

There is no one as worthy as You.

O One who 'died' for our sins,

O One who waters our fires,

What a terrible, burning passing You had to bear;

Even the ones who committed this act on You

would have been forgiven and saved by you-

such is Your love.

O Compassion, O Love

O God, O Humility,

O Teacher of the Holy Name of God

O Teacher of Saints

O Uplifter of Souls

You are the Chosen One,

The Glory of our Lord.

I tell the world today-

I am willing to die to see You just once;

O Great Master,

I fall at your lotus feet-

Make me Your very own.

I do all the wrong things-

why do You test me?

Please O Lord

may I never become a manmukh

and turn my back to my Master.

Save me from this wrongdoing;

Forgive my sinful actions,

I am your poor child.

Please make me do things

the way you want me to do-

I was and am powerless-

You are the only doer, O Lord.

Why don't you answer me?

O unshakeable and unmovable Lord!

Yet you fulfil my unconscious wishes!

So many messages, yet no reply?

And why do you smile?

O Guru!

You are truly Krsna!

You are truly Mohan!

O Great Saviour

This is my prayer at your feet-

please have mercy on me!
