BYELL TAI MAADAL

Byell, maadal, vyanh and gulabha in a bouquet
I offer to Parma Shiva, and pray.

Oh Shiva! from your cascading hair flows the Ganga: fair,
Bhrama, Vishno and all gods stand hand folded in prayer,
I bow in your reverence, and pray.

Byell, maadal, vyanh and gulabha in a bouquet
I offer to Parma Shiva and pray.

Oh! benevolent your love springs up in me, true romance.
Master! keep me composed not to lose the real substance,
for worldly inconsistencies keep many a trick to lay.

Byell, maadal, vyanh and gulabha in a bouquet
I offer to Parma Shiva, and pray.

My love and love to Shiva, Shambu or Shankera: whatever the call,
I keep alive a burning desire in me to have your glimpse: small,
Pray own me lest I should fall in helpless fray.

Byell, maadal, vyanh and gulabha in a bouquet
I offer to Parma Shiva, and pray.

Beseech: walk with your lotus feet into my being, silently,
I surrender and sacrifice every bit of my personality,
for your walking in, will get me into bliss, to stay.

Byell, maadal, vyanh and gulabha in a bouquet
I offer to Parma Shiva, and pray.

Oh! Amarnatha - Neelkantha, I be done on yee,
for getting me (Krishan) - Your mercy to see.
In faithful adoration, I submit to Shiva today

Byell, maadal, vyanh and gulabha in a bouquet
I offer to Parma Shiva, and pray.

Byell, maadal, vyanh and gulabha

KRIPA KARUM HARI HARAI
by Krishna Joo Razdan
translated into English by Arvind Shah

OH HARIHARA - BE KIND

Oh benevolent - be kind,
my efforts keep little to find.

I am tired and old,
held under a heavy lord,
be kind and help to cross,
enable me get across.

Oh benevolent - be kind,
my efforts keep little to find.

Water falls come from height,
shout aloud to show might,
soon get subdued and done,
on reaching the ocean.

Oh benevolent - be kind,
my efforts keep little to find.

Talking and talking gets me into rage,
and I reach into a foolish stage,
give me the worth of silence to possess,
and be worthy without recess.

Oh benevolent - be kind,
my efforts keep little to find.


Decorated nice is my plumage stock,
look like a charming peacock,
but am humbled to see,
the ugly feet with me.

Oh benevolent - be kind,
my efforts keep little to find.

Lord give me your full grace,
like the charming dawn on the earth's surface,
lest the soul should get into trouble
to make me into worthless rubble.

Oh benevolent - be kind,
my efforts keep little to find.

Your feelings give ecstasy at the core,
gets elevation in the instincts four,
now - I beg, I beseech and I pray
appear in me as a lucent ray.

Oh benevolent - be kind,
my efforts keep little to find.

Lord three universes You master,
found am I, of your immenseness -
Oh Shankara,
I am raw un-spun thread: thin,
get me the strength by a true spin.

Oh benevolent - be kind,
my efforts keep little to find.

Get me into enlightenment,
To realize eternal betterment,
and I be there, in true peace,
in blissful stage without cease.

Oh benevolent - be kind,
my efforts keep little to find.

Untie my (Krishna's) hold with spontaneity: more,
to find open the salvation door,
and there be I, with certainty,
in bliss till eternity.

Oh benevolent - be kind,
my efforts keep little to find.

The place of Shiva's abode and seat.
