Bhakti Bliss

Teri meharbani ka hai bojha itna,
ki main to uthane ke kabil nahin hun.
My Lord, You have bestowed so much grace on me,
that I am unable to lift this heavy load.

Main aa to gaya hun magar janta hun,
tere dar pe ane ke kabin hahin hun.
I have come to You fully knowing
that I am not worthy of coming to You.

Zamane ki chahat men khud ko bhulaya,
tera nam haragiz zuban pai na lava.
My strong desire for the world made me forget myself
and my lips never uttered Your name.

Khatavar hun main gunahagar hun main,
tumhen muh kikhane ke kabin nahin hun.
I am an offender and sinner;
I am not worthy of showing my face to You.

Tumhin ne ata ki mujhe zindgani,
magar teri mahima main ne na jani.
You gave me life, but I did not glorify You in life.

Karazdar teri daya ka hun itna,
ki karza chukane ke kabil nahin hun.
I am so indebted to you for Your grace,
that I am unable to repay my debt.

Ye mana ki data hai tu kul jahan ka,
magar jholi age phailaun main kaise.
I know You are the supreme Provider,
yet how can I ask You for anything?

Jo pahale diya vo bhi kuch kam nahin hain,
usi ko nibhane ke kabil nahin hun.
What you have given me already,
I am not able to contain.

Tamanna yahi hai ki sir ko jhuka dun,
tera deed ik bar dil men main pa lun.
My only desire now is to bow my head
and see You in my heart.

Siva dil ke tukron ke ai mere data,
kuch bhi charhane ke kabil naihin hun.
Oh, my Lord! Except for my heart,
I have nothing to offer You.
