jaise suraj ki garmi se jalte hue tan ko
mil jaye taruvar ki chhaya
aisa hi sukh mere man ko mila hai
mai jabse sharan teri aya, mere ram

bhataka hua mera man tha koi
mil na raha tha sahara
bhataka hua mera man tha koi
mil na raha tha sahara
laharo se ladati hui nav ko
jaise mil na raha ho kinara mil na raha ho kinara
us ladakhdati hui nav ko jo kisi ne kinara dikhaya
us ladakhdati hui nav ko jo kisi ne kinara dikhaya
aisa hi sukh mere man ko mila hai
mai jabse sharan teri aya, mere ram
jaise suraj ki garmi se jalte hue tan ko
mil jaye taruvar ki chhaya

shital bane aag chandan ke jaisi
raghav kripa ho jo teri
raghav kripa ho jo teri
ujiyali punam ki ho jae rate
jo thi amavas andheri, jo thi amavas andheri
yug-yug se pyasi marubhumi ne
jaise savan ka sades paya
yug-yug se pyasi marubhumi ne
jaise savan ka sades paya
aisa hi sukh mere man ko mila hai
mai jabse sharan teri aya, mere ram
jaise suraj ki garmi se jalte hue tan ko
mil jaye taruvar ki chhaya
aisa hi sukh mere man ko mila hai
mai jabse sharan teri aya, mere ram
jaise suraj ki garmi se jalte hue tan ko
mil jaye taruvar ki chhaya

jis rah ki mazil tera milan ho
us par kadam mai badhau
us par kadam mai badhau
phulo me kharo me, patjhad baharo me
mai na kabhi dagmagau, mai na kabhi dagmagau
pani ke pyase ko taqadir ne
jaise ji bhar ke amrit pilaya
pani ke pyase ko taqadir ne
jaise ji bhar ke amrit pilaya
aisa hi sukh mere man ko mila hai
mai jabse sharan teri aya, mere ram
jaise suraj ki garmi se jalte hue tan ko
mil jaye taruvar ki chhaya
aisa hi sukh mere man ko mila hai
mai jabse sharan teri aya, mere ram
jaise suraj ki garmi se jalte hue tan ko
mil jaye taruvar ki chhaya

As to a body scorched by the sun's harsh fire,
finds respite in a tree's cool shade,
such peace has dawned within my heart entire,
since in your refuge, Lord, I've stayed.

My wandering mind, a lost and rudderless thing,
searched for haven, for a guiding hand,
like a boat that battled waves, no shore could bring,
no promise of a welcoming land.
That stumbling boat, by grace, a shore espied,
that stumbling boat, a haven's gentle hold,
such peace has dawned within my heart inside,
since in your refuge, Lord, my story's told,
as to a body scorched by the sun's harsh fire,
finds respite in a tree's cool shade.

Cooling the flames, like sandalwood's sweet grace,
when your compassion, Ragah, starts to flow,
when your compassion fills this lonely place,
darkest nights like moonlit, silver glow,
like a desert, parched for ages long,
finding monsoon's welcome, life anew,
like a desert, ending silent song,
finding heavens tears, and skies so blue,
such peace has dawned within my heart's domain,
since in your refuge, Lord, I now reside,
as to a body scorched by the sun's harsh pain,
finds respite in a tree's cool side.
Such peace has dawned within my heart inside,
since in your refuge, Lord, I now confide,
as to a body scorched by the sun's harsh pain,
finds respite in a tree's cool side.

On the path where union with you will be,
my steps shall follow, true and bold,
my steps shall follow, for all eyes to see,
through flowers and thorns, in times of cold,
I shall not waver, never lose my way,
though Autumn leaves or Springtime's touch surround,
like one who thirsts, and destiny's display,
drinks deep of nectar, heavenly sound,
such peace has dawned within my heart's design,
since in your refuge, Lord, my soul is free,
as to a body scorched by the sun's design,
finds respite in a tree of ecstasy,
Such peace has dawned within my heart inside,
since in your refuge, Lord, I now confide,
as to a body scorched by the sun's harsh side,
finds respite in a tree's cool tide.
