LYRICS:
(1)
tum meri rākho lāja hari
tum jānata saba antarayāmī karanī kachu na karī
(2)
avaguṇa mose bisarata nāhi pala china gharī gharī
sab prapañca kī poṭa bāńdh kari apne sīs dharī
(3)
dārā suta dhana moha liye hauń sudhi-budhi saba bisarī
sūra patita ko bega udhāro ab merī nāva bharī
WORD FOR WORD TRANSLATION: Tum Meri Rakho Laja Hari
TRANSLATION
Please protect my honor, O Hari. You know everything, O Omniscient One. The doer does not do anything.
- I am unable to be redeemed of my faults as each moment passes. I carry a bundle bound of this worldly existence upon my head.
- My friends, sons, wealth, attachments, and everything I own have left me. The fallen and destitute, Sura Dasa, begs to be delivered. Now my boat is filled (i.e. my life will thus be completed).
REMARKS/EXTRA INFORMATION:
