Aye Malik Tere Bande Hum - Do Ankhen Baarah Haath

Aye Maalik Tere Bande Hum Ayese Ho Humaare Karam
nekee Par Chale, Aaur Badee Se Tale, Taankee Hasate Huye Nikale Dam

Ye Andheraa Ghanaa Chhaa Rahaa, Teraa Insaan Ghabaraa Rahaa
Ho Rahaa Bekhabar, Kuchh Naa Aataa Nazar, Sukh Kaa Sooraj Chhoopaa Jaa Rahaa
Hai Teree Roshanee Mein Jo Dam To Amaawas Ko Kar De Poonam

Badaa Kamazor Hain Aadamee, Abhee Laakhon Hain Is Mein Kamee
Par Too Jo Khadaa, Hain Dayaaloo Badaa, Teree Kirapaa Se Dharatee Thamee
Diyaa Toone Humei Jab Janam Too Hee Jhelegaa Hum Sab Ke Gam

Jab Zulmon Kaa Ho Saamanaa, Tab Too Hee Humei Thaamanaa
Wo Buraee Kare, Hum Bhalaaee Bhare, Naheen Badale Kee Ho Kaamanaa
Badh Uthhe Pyaar Kaa Har Kadam Aaur Mite Bair Kaa Ye Bharam

Aye Maalik Tere Bande Hum Ayese Ho Humaare Karam
nekee Par Chale, Aaur Badee Se Tale, Taankee Hasate Huye Nikale Dam

O Master, We are your followers/servants, Such should be our deeds and actions so that they are noble/good, free from evil intent, so that when we are smiling/happy when we die.

ye andheraa ghanaa chhaa rahaa, teraa insaan ghabaraa rahaa
ho rahaa bekhabar, kuchh naa aataa nazar, sukh kaa sooraj chhoopaa jaa rahaa
hai teree roshanee mein jo dam to amaawas ko kar de poonam

Whenever there is darkness/ignorance enveloping, your child is scared. When sun also seems invisible, and nothing is visible, then its your light which has the power which even enlightens Newmoon/Amavasya.

badaa kamazor hain aadamee, abhee laakhon hain is mein kamee
par too jo khadaa, hain dayaaloo badaa, teree kirapaa se dharatee thamee
diyaa toone humei jab janam too hee jhelegaa hum sab ke gam

Man is very weak, he has so many faults but you are there, ever merciful, because of your everlasting grace on all. You have given us this life and it is you who will sustain it.

jab zulmon kaa ho saamanaa, tab too hee humei thaamanaa
wo buraee kare, hum bhalaaee bhare, naheen badale kee ho kaamanaa
badh uthhe pyaar kaa har kadam aaur mite bair kaa ye bharam

When we deal with injustice, then support us so that we may respond always with goodness- even to the bad inflicted on us, with no retaliation in mind. Our efforts should be towards love for all and not in disillusion or of venegeance for anyone

Sunta hai guru gyani
Gagan me awaaz ho rahi hai jheeni jheeni
Sunta hai guru gyani

Paahi liyaye
Naad bindu se peechhe jamaya paani ho ji
Sab ghat puran guru rahya hai
Alakh purush nirvaani ho ji
Sunta hai guru gyani

Vahaa se aaya pata likhaya
Trushna toone bujhai
Amrut chhod chhod vishay ko dhaave
Khol de phaans phansaani ho ji
Sunta hai guru gyani

Gagan mandal mein koi
Boi pe dahi jamaya
Makhan makhan santon ne khaya
Chhar jagat babarani ho ji
Sunta hai guru gyani

Bin dharti ek ma daal deeje
Bin taruvar joo paani re
Gagan mandal me hoye ujiyala
Bol guru-mukh baani ho ji
Sunta hai guru gyani

Oham soham baja baje
Tipu ki tham suhani re
Ida pingala sukhman nari
Sunatha ja behrani ho ji
Sunta hai guru gyani

Kahe Kabir suno bhai saadho
Jaag agam ke baani re
Din bhar re jo nazar bhar dekhe
Ajar amar ho nishani ho ji

Sunta hai guru gyani
Gagan me awaaz ho rahi hai jheeni jheeni
Sunta hai guru gyani
