Ang 1164Raag BhairaoBhagat Namdev

ਹਸਤ ਖੇਲਤ ਤੇਰੇ ਦੇਹੁਰੇ ਆਇਆ ॥

hasat khelat tere dehure aaeaa |

Laughing and playing, I came to Your Temple, O Lord.

ਭਗਤਿ ਕਰਤ ਨਾਮਾ ਪਕਰਿ ਉਠਾਇਆ ॥੧॥

bhagat karat naamaa pakar utthaaeaa |1|

While Naam Dayv was worshipping, he was grabbed and driven out. ||1||

ਹੀਨੜੀ ਜਾਤਿ ਮੇਰੀ ਜਾਦਿਮ ਰਾਇਆ ॥

heenarree jaat meree jaadim raaeaa |

I am of a low social class, O Lord;

ਛੀਪੇ ਕੇ ਜਨਮਿ ਕਾਹੇ ਕਉ ਆਇਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

chheepe ke janam kaahe kau aaeaa |1| rahaau |

why was I born into a family of fabric dyers? ||1||Pause||

ਲੈ ਕਮਲੀ ਚਲਿਓ ਪਲਟਾਇ ॥

lai kamalee chalio palattaae |

I picked up my blanket and went back,

ਦੇਹੁਰੈ ਪਾਛੈ ਬੈਠਾ ਜਾਇ ॥੨॥

dehurai paachhai baitthaa jaae |2|

to sit behind the temple. ||2||

ਜਿਉ ਜਿਉ ਨਾਮਾ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਉਚਰੈ ॥

jiau jiau naamaa har gun ucharai |

As Naam Dayv uttered the Glorious Praises of the Lord,

ਭਗਤ ਜਨਾਂ ਕਉ ਦੇਹੁਰਾ ਫਿਰੈ ॥੩॥੬॥

bhagat janaan kau dehuraa firai |3|6|

the temple turned around to face the Lord's humble devotee. ||3||6||
