TOON SAAJAN RAAJAN

Toon Saajan Raajan, Maan Ik Fakeer
Tuhinjey Dar-a Tey Bhikhaarin Vahaayaan Neer

Toon Shaahan Shaah, Main Dar Kee Daasee
Tere Darshan Kaatir, Pal Pal Pyaasee
Hin-a Dil Jo Chaatrik Naa Kuchh Bhi Chaahey
Mitho Naam Tuhinjo Var Var Gaaye
Toon Saajan Raajan, Maan Ik Fakeer

Nirmal Naam Tuhinjo Akhand Abhinaasee
Muhinjo Teerath Takeeyo Mathura Kaashi
Nirmal Naam Tuhinjo Ghaaye Dhiyaa-ay
Ik Deenh-u Anjali Achee Tokhay Paaye
Toon Saajan Raajan, Maan Ik Fakeer



BELOVED PRINCE!

My Beloved Prince art Thou,
I am but a beggar-maid:
At Thy door a-begging have I come
With tears streaming from my eyes!

King of Kings, art Thou,
A slave at Thy door am I:
Every moment athirst am I,
For a glimpse of Thee!

Chatrak like, naught else,
Does the bird of my heart desire:
Only Thy sweet name,
Does it sing again and again!

Eternal and immutable,
Is Thy sweet name:
For me it is Mathura and Kashi,
And all pilgrimages too!

Meditating on Thy name,
And singing Thy name:
Someday I aspire to be,
One with Thee, says Anjali!
