Bhagat Dhanna Ji

I wandered through countless incarnations, but mind, body and wealth never remain stable.

Attached to, and stained by the poisons of sexual desire and greed, the mind has forgotten the jewel of the Lord. ||1||Pause

The poisonous fruit seems sweet to the demented mind, which does not know the difference between good and evil.

Turning away from virtue, his love for other things increases, and he weaves again the web of birth and death.

He does not know the way to the Lord, who dwells within his heart; burning in the trap, he is caught by the noose of death.

Gathering the poisonous fruits, he fills his mind with them, and he forgets God, the Supreme Being, from his mind.

The Guru has given the wealth of spiritual wisdom; practicing meditation, the mind becomes one with Him.

Embracing loving devotional worship for the Lord, I have come to know peace; satisfied and satiated, I have been liberated.

One who is filled with the Divine Light, recognizes the undeceivable Lord God.

Dhanna has obtained the Lord, the Sustainer of the World, as his wealth; meeting the humble Saints, he merges in the Lord. ||4

O Lord of the world, this is Your lamp-lit worship service.

You are the Arranger of the affairs of those humble beings who perform Your devotional worship service. ||1||Pause

Lentils, flour and ghee - these things, I beg of You.

Shoes, fine clothes, and grain of seven kinds - I beg of You.

A milk cow, and a water buffalo, I beg of You,

- Your humble servant Dhanna begs for these things, Lord. ||2
