Raag Sorath – Sorath Ki Vaar M.4.
Pauri no. 20

Sorath Ki Vaar M.4 has 29 pauris. This is pauri no. 20. The pauris are by Guru Ramdas Ji as the title of the Bani states. This pauri is a declaration by Guru Ji. He describes himself as a thadee, a minstrel of God and in humility, speaks of his adoration and love for God.

I am a minstrel of the Lord, daily I sing of His Glorious Praises; I sing the Kirtan of His Praises, and listen to the Glories of the Master of all creation and maya.

“Ham thadee Har Prabh Khasam ke nit gaavhe Har Gunn Shantta; Har Kirtan kare Har jass sunhe Tis Kavla Kanta.”

The Lord is the Great Giver, while the whole world – all beings and creatures beg from Him; in Your Kindness and Compassion, You give Your Gifts even to worms and insects amongst the rocks.

“Har Data sabh jagat bhikhariya manggat jan jantaa; Har devho daan Dyal hoye vich pathar krim jantaa.”

Servant Nanak meditates upon the Name as gurmukh (in the Guru’s Sharan, following the Guru’s Teachings) I have become truly wealthy.

“Jan Nanak Naam dhiaeiaya gurmukh dhanvanta.”
