Tu jannat mai kich nahi bhav khandan Raam – Raag Bilaaval – Ang 858

Bhagat Ravidas Ji has 40 Shabads in SGGS Ji.

Bhagat Ji was a cobbler and was very poor. Yet, His bhagti made Him fearless and He lived in chardi kalaa.

In this lovely Shabad Bhagat Ji speaks lovingly to God.

Bhagat Ji says all used to laugh at my poverty.

“Daridh dekh sabh ko hassay aisee dissa hamaree.”

But with Your grace I have been blessed with so much. You have placed the eighteen miraculous powers in my hands now.

“Asth dassa sidh kar tallay sabh kirpa tumaree.”

In utter humility Bhagat Ji says: God, You know I am nothing. All beings seek Your sanctuary. You resolve all their affairs.

“Tu jannat mai kich nahi bhav khandan Raam. Saggal jee sarnagtee Prabh puran kaam.”

And I know that anyone who takes Your Sharan, his karmic burdens are removed.

“Jo teri sarnagtee tin nahi paar.”

You save the high and the low from this shameless world.

“Ooch neech tum te tarey aalajj sansaar.”

What more can I say about Your unfathomable Story?

“Kahe Ravidas akath katha baho kahe karijay.”

You are Unique. What praises can I shower upon You.

“Jaisa tu taisa tuhee kya upmaa dijjay.”
