Raag Basant- Bhagat Namdev Ji.
Bhagat Ji lovingly pleads with God to take him across the world ocean.
The tidal waves of greed constantly assault me; my body is drowning, Lord.
“Lobh lahar att nihjarr bajjey; kaiyan dubbey Keswa.”
God, please carry me across the world ocean; do carry me across, O Beloved Father.
“Sansar samundey taar Gobinday; taar leh Baap Beethla.” (rahao).
I cannot steer my tiny boat in this storm; I cannot find the other shore, Lord.
“Anil berha hao khev neh sakho; Tera paar na payaa Beethla.”
Please be Merciful and Unite me with the True Guru (Shabad); please take me across, Lord.
“Hoho Dyaal Satgur melh Tu mo ko; paar utarey Keswa.”
Nama says, I do not know how to swim; please give me Your Arm, Your Arm, Lord.
“Nama kahe hao tar bhi na janho; mo ko Bah deh Bah deh Beethla.”
