LYRICS:

(1)

prabhujī tuma candana ham pānī

jākī ańg ańg bāsa samāni

(2)

prabhujī tuma ghana-bana ham morā

jaise citavata canda cakorā

(3)

prabhujī tuma dīpaka ham bātī

jākī jyota barai din rātī

(4)

prabhujī tuma motī ham dhāgā

jaise sone milata suhāgā

prabhujī tuma svāmī ham dāsā

aisī bhakti karai raidāsā

 

(6)

ab kaise chūṭe rām, nām raṭa lāgī

 

TRANSLATION

Lord, if you are sandalwood, I am water; fragranced by You in all parts of my body.

  1. Lord, if you are a cloud, I am a peacock; looking for You like a cakora for the full moon.

Lord, if you are a lamp, I am the wick; with the light of love burning day and night.

Lord, if you are a pearl, I am the thread; just as as gold looks beautiful when adorned on a beautiful married woman.

Lord, you are the master and I am Your servant, Raidasa, who is always performing devotion to You.

 

There is no escape; I have already been attached to the name of chanting of Lord RamaÂ’s name.

 

REMARKS/EXTRA INFORMATION:

This song was the third track from the ISKCON’s tape “Bhajan Sandhya” by Anup Jalota performed in Juhu in the early 1980s.
