(As a raindrop left the clouds, it started to think, "why did I leave (the comfort of) home?...")
dev! mere bhagya meiN kayaa badaa
maiN bachooNgii ya milooNgii dhool meiN
ya jalooNgii gir aNgaare par kisii
choo paDoogiiN ya kamal ke phool meiN
(O God! what is in my fate?..will I fall on a heap of dust(and become mud?)..
or will I fall on an amber and get burned?..or will I land on a (beautiful) lotus flower?)
bah gayii us kaal ek aisii hawaa
veh samunder oar aayii anmanii
ek sunder siip ka moohN thaa khulaa
vah usii meiN jaa paDii moti banii
(A gust of air forced her towards the ocean
she fell into the open mouth of an oyster and became a pearl)
log yooN hii haiN jhijhakte, sochte
jab ki unko chhoDnaa paDta hai ghar
kintoo ghar ko chhoDnaa aksar unheN
booNd loN kucch aur hii detaa hai kar
(Similarly people often hesitate to leave home
but as it happened to the raindrop, leaving home often turns out to be good for them)
Maatii kahe kumbhaar se, tu kayaa roNde mohe
Ek din aisaa aayegaa, maiN rouNdugii tohe
Ram nam ratate raho, jab tak ghat maiN praan
Kabhii to din dayaal ke, bhanak paDegi kaan
SaaNch braabar tap nahiN, jhooth braabar paap
Ja ke hridaye saaNch hai, taa ke hridaye prabhu aat
Dukh maiN sumran sab kareN, sukh main kare na koye
Jo sukh maiN sumran kareN, to dukh kahe ko hoye
Tulsi is sansaar maiN, sabse miliye dhaye
Kayaa jaane kis roop maiN, Narayan mil jayeN
Rahiman dhaga prem ka, naa toDo khichakaye
toote se phir ye na juDe, juDe to gaaNth paD jaye
Rahiman baDan ko dekh kar, laghoo na dije dhaar
jahaN kaam aaye sooyii, kaya kare talwar
Den-daar koyii aur hai, bhejat jo din raiin
Log bharum hum par kareN, taaso neeche nain
