1Raag Malaar, The Word Of The Devotee Naam Dayv Jee:

2One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

3Serve the King, the Sovereign Lord of the World. He has no ancestry; He is immaculate and pure.

4Please bless me with the gift of devotion, which the humble Saints beg for. ||1||Pause||

5His Home is the pavilion seen in all directions; His ornamental heavenly realms fill the seven worlds alike.

6In His Home, the virgin Lakshmi dwells. The moon and the sun are His two lamps; the wretched Messenger of Death stages his dramas, and levies taxes on all.

7Such is my Sovereign Lord King, the Supreme Lord of all. ||1||

8In His House, the four-faced Brahma, the cosmic potter lives. He created the entire universe.

9In His House, the insane Shiva, the Guru of the World, lives; he imparts spiritual wisdom to explain the essence of reality.

10Sin and virtue are the standard-bearers at His Door; Chitr and Gupt are the recording angels of the conscious and subconscious.

11The Righteous Judge of Dharma, the Lord of Destruction, is the door-man.

12Such is the Supreme Sovereign Lord of the World. ||2||

13In His Home are the heavenly heralds, celestial singers, Rishis and poor minstrels, who sing so sweetly.

14All the Shaastras take various forms in His theater, singing beautiful songs.

15The wind waves the fly-brush over Him;

16His hand-maiden is Maya, who has conquered the world.

17The shell of the earth is His fireplace.

18Such is the Sovereign Lord of the three worlds. ||3||

19In His Home, the celestial turtle is the bed-frame, woven with the strings of the thousand-headed snake.

20His flower-girls are the eighteen loads of vegetation; His water-carriers are the nine hundred sixty million clouds.

21His sweat is the Ganges River.

22The seven seas are His water-pitchers.

23The creatures of the world are His household utensils.

24Such is the Sovereign Lord King of the three worlds. ||4||

25In His home are Arjuna, Dhroo, Prahlaad, Ambreek, Naarad, Nayjaa, the Siddhas and Buddhas, the ninety-two heavenly heralds and celestial singers in their wondrous play.

26All the creatures of the world are in His House.

27The Lord is diffused in the inner beings of all.

28Prays Naam Dayv, seek His Protection.

29All the devotees are His banner and insignia. ||5||1||

30Malaar:

31Please do not forget me; please do not forget me,

32please do not forget me, O Lord. ||1||Pause||

33The temple priests have doubts about this, and everyone is furious with me.

34Calling me low-caste and untouchable, they beat me and drove me out; what should I do now, O Beloved Father Lord? ||1||

35If You liberate me after I am dead, no one will know that I am liberated.

36These Pandits, these religious scholars, call me low-born; when they say this, they tarnish Your honor as well. ||2||

37You are called kind and compassionate; the power of Your Arm is absolutely unrivalled.

38The Lord turned the temple around to face Naam Dayv; He turned His back on the Brahmins. ||3||2||
