maaya kee uljano ko hairan kaise samajhe
gayani jise na jaane nadan kaise samajhe
sansaar julm karata maalik ka naam lekar
bhagavaan tum na aaye insaan kaise samajhe
jag ko na sar jhukaata bandan na maanata hu
dharatee gagan mein mai to shankar ko jaanata hu
itanee na lo pareeksha bhagavaan maan jao
o gaal hai divaale kailaash naath aao

o o o o o o aa aa aa aa
hamako to tera naam lene se hai vasta
bhagavaan tera pyaar hai kaanton ka rasta
bhagavaan tera pyaar hai kaanton ka rasta

tere deevaane ko saara jag dhul jaisa hai
har kaata tere baag hee ke phool jaisa hai
kaanton se pyaar hai to phoolo se kya vaasta
bhagavaan tera pyaar hai kaanton ka raasta
bhagavaan tera pyaar hai kaanton ka raasta

ganga pahunchee saagar tak chattaanon ko choom ke
paee mainne bhee jyoti andhare mein ghoom ke
ganga pahunchee saagar tak chattaanon ko choom ke
paee mainne bhee jyoti andhare mein ghoom ke
tum saath na rahate kinaare nayiya na aatee
tumako paakar mainne saaree duniya hee thukara dee
tumase chhudaane vaalee duniya se kya vaasta
bhagavaan tera pyaar hai kaanton ka raasta
bhagavaan tera pyaar hai kaanton ka raasta

o o o o o o
laakho ne bulaaya jise vo mere ho gaye
vo mere ho gaye
jo nain tumhe dekh pae vo tere ho gaye
naadaan duniya kee naadaanee se tum hee khelo
mujhako to paapo se chhuda ke charanon mein lelo
tum chhod jaoge to jeene se kya vaasta
bhagavaan bhagavaan bhagavaan
bhagavaan tera pyaar hai kaanton ka raasta
bhagavaan tera pyaar hai kaanton ka raasta

How can we grasp the maze of Maya's art?
The wise are lost, how can the foolish start?
This world, it wrongs, invoking the Divine's name,
If God won't come, how can a man reclaim?

I bow to no world, no worship I pursue,
In earth and sky, I know only Shiva true.
Test me no further, Lord, accept my plea,
O walls of Kailash, come and shelter me.
O O O O O O A A A A
To utter your name, that's my only need,
Your love, O Lord, is a thorny creed.
Your love, O Lord, is a thorny creed.

For your devotee, the world is but dust,
Each thorn, a flower from your sacred trust.
If thorns I love, what need have I of bloom?
Your love, O Lord, is a thorny tomb.
Your love, O Lord, is a thorny tomb.

The Ganges reached the sea, kissing stone,
I found the light, though in darkness flown.
The Ganges reached the sea, kissing stone,
I found the light, though in darkness flown.
Without your presence, no shore, no boat's grace,
Having found you, I spurn the world's embrace.
From a world that would sever, what need of me?
Your love, O Lord, is a thorny decree.
Your love, O Lord, is a thorny decree.

O O O O O O, a million they implored,
But those who are mine, are forever yours adored.
Those eyes that saw you, forever are thine,
Let the foolish world, its folly entwine.
From sin, deliver, and to your feet take hold,
If you depart, what worth is life untold?
Lord, Lord, Lord,
Your love, O Lord, is a thorny way.
Your love, O Lord, is a thorny way.
