Duniyaa ne charhaaye

Duniyaa ne charhaaye phool tujhe, mai khud ko chaṛhaane aayaa hoo
Hai saaee timhaare dvaare pe, mai sabhee luṭaane aayaa hoo

Too chaahe to ṭhukaraade mujhe apane dvaare se haṭaade mujhe
Saai naam kee jaltee dhunee me, abhimaan jalane aayaa hoo

Maalaa saaso kee banaaee jai teree yaad usee me samaaee hai
Janmo se saai bhakti ko saai aaj jalane aayaa hoo

Teraa sumiran meree poojaa charanan vandan karanaa doojaa
Charanan dhooli “prakash” ho, maathe se lagaane aaye hoo

Mere avaguṇ chita naa laanaa, meree shraddhaa naa louṭaanaa
Ṭooṭe-phooṭe baaavo se bharaa, mai geet sunaane aayaa hoo

Jhoothe jag kee jhoothee maayaa, saachaa sukh tere dar paayaa
Hai saai sharan lahaalo mujhe, charano me samaane aayaa hoo

O Lord! The entire world has offered you flowers, but I offer myself instead of flowers, O Lord. I come to your door and now submit myself totally to you.

O Lord, you may reject me or tell me to go away. But, I will burn my false pride with your loving name and make myself successful in finding you.

Lord, my breath is my mala – this I use to meditate on you constantly. Since my birth, I was inactive in my devotion to you, but now, O Lord I have come to you to rekindle my love for you.

The remembrance of you is my Pooja. Please brighten me by allowing the light of the dust of your feet to be on my forehead.

I have many faults, O Lord and I crave your forgiveness. I have strong faith in You and I sing to you in my simple manner. Do not reject my love, O Lord.

The world and all it contains – is false, is maayaa. Truth is only found at your door. Take me into your shelter, O Lord. I prostrate myself, body and soul, at your feet.
