Tu Samrath vadda meri matt thori Raam – Raag Bihagara – Ang 547

SGGS Angg 547.

Raag Bihagara M. 5

This Shantt has 4 padas. This is the 3rd pada. It is a plea by a Sikh who acknowledges all his foolishness and faults.

Lord, You are All Powerful and Great while I have little understanding; (in Your Kindness), You cherish even the ungrateful ones – Your Glance of Grace is Perfect.

“Tu Samrath vadda meri matt thori Raam; paaleh akritghana puran dhrist Teri Raam.”

Your wisdom is beyond fathom O Infinite Creator Lord. I am lowly and know nothing; I am such an ignorant beast, having forsaken the Jewel (of Naam) and hoarded shells.

“Agaadh Bodh Apaar Karte mohe neech kachu na jaana; Rattan tyaag sangrahan kaudi pasu neech eiyaana.”

I took on so much pain to accumulate what is very fickle, and which will surely abandon me; Nanak has taken the Sanctuary of the Almighty Lord and Master – please preserve my honor.

“Tyaag chalti maha chanchal dokh kar kar jorhi; Nanak Sharan Samrath Suami paij rakho mori.”
