saaNsoN kii maalaa pe simruuN maiN pii ka naam
apne mann kii maiN jaanuuN aur pii ke mann kii Ram


With every breath I take, I chant the name of my beloved
I know of my heart, and God knows of the heart of my beloved


yahii merii bandagii hai, yahii merii puujaa

This is my salutation [and] this is my prayer.

ek thaa saajan mandir meN aur ek thaa pritam masjid meN
par maiN prem ke rang meN aisii Duubii ban gayaa ek hii ruup


One lover was in the temple and another in the mosque
but to me, immersed in the joy of love, both seemed same


prem kii maalaa japte japte aap banii maiN Shyam


Chanting on rosary, the name of Shyam [Lord Krishna], I become him.
Note: A Hindu God sung and revered by the patrons of love.


ham aur nahiiN kuchu kaam ke
matvaare pii ke naam ke, har dam


I am worthless except that
I surrender to the name of my beloved, all the time.


priitam kaa kuch dosh nahiiN hai vo to hai nirdosh
apne aap se baateN kar ke ho gayii maiN badnaam


My beloved is not to be blamed, it is no fault of his
I became infamous only because of talking to myself.

Who are you?

GuruGranthSahib ~ Page 30

Bin gur mehal na pawiye naam na prapat hoye, essa satguru lod lau jis payie sach soyi . Asur sanghare sukh vase, jo tis bhave so hove. Jeha satgur kar janiya, teho jeha sukh hoye. eho sahsa mul nahi bhav lave jan koi. Nanak ek jot doi surat shabad milava hoyi.

Without the Guru, the Mansion of the Lord.s Presence is not found, and
the Naam is not obtained. Seek and find such a True Guru, who shall lead you to the True Lord. Destroy your evil passions,
and you shall dwell in peace. Whatever pleases the Lord comes to pass.As one knows the True Guru, so is the peace
obtained. There is no doubt at all about this, but those who love Him are very rare. O Nanak, the One Light has two forms;
through the Shabad, union is attained.
