Hindi Bhajan

पायो जी मैंने राम रतन धन पायो।

I have received the jewel-like treasure of Rama's name.

वस्तु अमोलक दी मेरे सतगुरु, कृपा कर अपनायो॥

My true teacher gave me this priceless gift and accepted me through grace.

जनम जनम की पूँजी पाई, जग में सबै खोवायो॥

I recovered the spiritual wealth of many lifetimes while worldly possessions fall away.

खरचै न खूटै चोर न लूटै, दिन दिन बढ़त सवायो॥

This treasure is never exhausted or stolen; it grows richer day by day.

सत की नाव खेवटिया सतगुरु, भवसागर तर आयो॥

With truth as the boat and the teacher as guide, I have crossed the ocean of worldly existence.

मीरा के प्रभु गिरिधर नागर, हरख हरख जस गायो॥

Meera joyfully sings the praise of her Lord, Giridhar.
