jamno janmo rahu, taro das
“may i remain your servant for all lifetimes.”
janmo janam rahum taro das....
prabhuji evu mangu re...
maree pooran karjo aash..... prabhuji
evu mangu re...
taram smaran haiye ramtum rahe,
man tara chiranam bhamtum rahe,
evo antarnak karjo prakash...
prabhuji evu mangu re...
sukh dukh mam bhkti chodum nahim,
joothee maya dekheene dodum
nahim,
tara charne raho maro vas...
prabhuji evu mangu re...
antavelae hath pakdee lejo,
karee tanmay mane jakdi lejo
amrut kartum nahee re nirash...
prabhuji evu mangu re...
may i remain your servant for lifetimes, o lord,
this is what i ask.
please fulfill this humble wish, o lord, this is what
i ask.
may your remembrance always dwell in my heart,
may my mind always wander at your feet,
illuminate my inner being with such light, o lord,
this is what i ask.
in happiness or sorrow, may i never abandon
devotion, may i never run after false illusions of the
world,
let my heart always reside at your feet, o lord,
this is what i ask.
at my final moment, hold my hand,
bind me close with deep love,
do not let me fall into despair, grant me
immortality, o lord, this is what i ask.
