Sheikh Farid

Farida rut firi van kambeya, patt chadhe chad pahe,
chare kuhndan dhundhiyan, rehan kittan oh nahi !!

Main janeya dukh mujhko, dukh savaya jag,
unche chad k dekheya, tan ghar ghar ehi aag farida ghar ghar ehi aag!!

Farida khaak naa nindiye, khaaku jedd naa koye,
Jeevndiya pairan talley, muyiya oopar hoye !!

birha birha aakheye, birha ton sultan,
jet tan birha na upaje, soo tan jan masaan !!

Kaga karang dhadoliya,sagla khaya maas,
Eh doyey naina matt chchuo, pirr dekhan ki aas !!

Farida kaale mende kapde, kaala menda ves,
gun he phariya mai firan, lok kahen darves !!

Oh jo disan dheriyan, ohna te paye kakh,
ohdron koi na bohdeya, ehdron tur gaye lakh !!

main banjaran raam ki ~Guru Nanak

main banjaran raam ki
terra naam vakharwa paar je

Iam the shop-keeper of my Lord.
Your name is my merchandise and trade.


Harni hovan vaan bassan
kand muul chun khavun.

what if i were to become a deer, and live in the forest,
picking and eating fruits and roots.


Guru parshadi merra shoh mile,
baar baar hau jaun jeyo

By guru's grace i found my husband lord,
Again n Again I am a sacrifce to him.


kokil hovan ambh vassan
sahaj shabd vichar,

If i were to become a cuckoo, living in a mango tree.
I would still contemplate the word of the shabad with intuitive ease.


Sahaj suhbae mere shoh mile,
darshan roop apar,

I would still meet my Lord and Master with intuitive ease.
the Darshan, the blessed vision of his Form, is incomparably beautiful.


main banjaran raam ki.
I am the shop-keeper of my Lord.

machli hovan jal vassan
jiv jant sabh saar,

If i were to become a fish, living in the water,
I would still remember the Lord, who takes care of all beings.


urvaar paar merra shoh vasse
hau milungi bahn pasaar,

My husband lord dwells on this shore, and on the shore beyond;
I would still meet him, and hug him close in my embrace.


main banjaran raam ki.

Iam the shop-keeper of my Lord.

Nagin hovan thar vasaan,
shabad vasse bhau jaye,

If i were to become a snake, living in the ground,
the shabad would still dwell in my heart, and my fears and all darkness will be dispelled.


Nanak sada sohagni,
jin jyoti jott samaye,

O Nanak they are forever the happy soul-brides,
whose Light merges into his Light.

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.

By your will !! ~Guru granth sahib(Pg-98)

As You command, I obey; as You give, I receive. You are the Pride of the
meek and the poor. You are everything; You are my Beloved. I am a sacrifice to Your Creative Power. By Your Will,
we wander in the wilderness; by Your Will, we find the path. By Your Will, we become Gurmukh and sing the Glorious Praises
of the Lord. By Your Will, we wander in doubt through countless lifetimes. Everything happens by Your Will. No one is
foolish, and no one is clever. Your Will determines everything; You are Inaccessible, Incomprehensible, Infinite and
Unfathomable. Your Value cannot be expressed.

To Remember Me ~ Robert N. Test

Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby's face, or love in the eyes of a woman.

Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain.

Give my blood to the teenager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren play.

Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week.

Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.

If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses, and all prejudice against my fellow man.

Give my sins to the devil.

Give my soul to God.

If, by chance, you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you. If you do all I have asked, I will live forever.
