Ajab hairaan hoo bhagavan

Ajab hairaan hoo bhagavaan,
tujhe kyokar rijhaaoo mai
Koi vastu nahee aisee,
jisse sevaa me laaoo mai.

Karoo kis tarah aavaahan
ki tum moujood ho har jaa
niraadar hai bulaane ko,
agar ghanṭee bajaaoo mai.

Tumhee ho moorti me bhee,
tumhee vyaapak ho phoolo me
bhalaa bhagavaan par bhagavaan
ko kaise chaḍhaaoo mai

Lagaanaa bhog kuchh tumko,
ye ek apmaan karnaa hai
Khilaataa hai jo sab jag ko,
use kaise khilaaoo mai.

Tumhaaree jyoti se roshan
hai sooraj chaand aur taare.
Mahaa andher hai kaise,
tumhe deepak dikhaaoo mai.

Bhujaae hai, na seenaa hai,
na gardan hai, na peshaanee.
Too hai niralep naaraayaṇ
kahaa chandan chaḍhaaoo mai.

I am perplexed and confused, Lord! You are the reservoir of everything, What can I offer? How can I serve?

I want to invoke your presence, but you are already present all over, therefore Isn’t it disrespectful to ring a bell to call you?

You are in the idols and you are in the flower, Isn’t it placing God on God?

Offering food does not seem right since you give food to the entire world, how then can you eat it?

You are the illumination and the light. You are the sun, moon, and stars. You dispel great darkness, how then can I show you a lamp?

You have no arms, no limit, no face, no profession. You are the unbiased God, how then can I anoint you with incense?
