Dhan Guru Daataa

Transcribed & translated by: Shree Pragjibhai Ladva

Dhan Guru Daataa, Dhan Guru Devaa Re Sadguru Eh Shabad Sunaayaaji,
Gurujino Mahimaa Pal Pal Re Vakhaanune, Paatak Saghdaa Re Jaayji...
Suto Jagaadyo, Desh Dekhaadyone Alekh Purush Orkhaayoji,
Boodtaa Re Boodtaa Maaraa Gurujiyeh Taaryone, Muktino Maarag Bataavyoji...
Gaudaan Deve, Bhumidaan Devene Kanchannaa Mol Lutaave Re,
Kaashiyeh Jaine Bhale Kanyaadaan Deve Toye, Naave Maaraa Gurujini Tole Re...
Khaal Padaavu Maaraa, Pandraa Tanine Re Soneri Range Rangaavu Re,
Jodaa Shivraavi Maaraa Gurune Peraavure, Gannre Oshingan Kem Thaau Re..
Sadguru Madiyaa, Sanshay Tadiyaane Lakh Re Choraashi Chhodaayoji,
Gurune Partaapere Bolyaa Rukhadiyore, Jamdaane Modhethi Chhodaayoji...


I Praise My Sadguru From Whom I Heard The Words Of Truth
I Praise The Virtues Of My Guruji Every Moment And All My Sins Go Away
He Woke Me Up From My Slumber, Showed True Abode And Explained The Existence Of God
Being On The Brink Of Drowning, My Guruji Saved Me And Showed The Path Of Liberation
A Person May Give Away Cows, Donate Land And Large Quantities Of Gold
He May Go To Kaashi (holy Place) And Give Away Daughter In Marriage, Still He Is Not Equal To My Guruji
I May Do The Most Difficult Deeds Of Penance, Serve Him In Various Ways To Please Him
Even If I Offer Him Invaluable Presents, Still I Remain In His Obligation Eternally
After Meeting My Guruji, My Doubts Went Away And He Saved Me From 8.4 Million Births And Deaths
With The Blessing Of Guruji, Rukhadhiyo Says, He Released Me From The Jaws Of Death
