Doha 298
प्रभु पितु मातु सुहृद गुर स्वामी। पूज्य परम हित अंतरजामी॥ सरल सुसाहिबु सील निधानू। प्रनतपाल सर्बग्य सुजानू॥१॥
समरथ सरनागत हितकारी। गुनगाहकु अवगुन अघ हारी॥ स्वामि गोसाँइहि सरिस गोसाईं। मोहि समान मैं साइँ दोहाईं॥२॥
प्रभु पितु बचन मोह बस पेली। आयउँ इहाँ समाजु सकेली॥ जग भल पोच ऊँच अरु नीचू। अमिअ अमरपद माहुरु मीचू॥३॥
राम रजाइ मेट मन माहीं। देखा सुना कतहुँ कोउ नाहीं॥ सो मैं सब बिधि कीन्हि ढिठाई। प्रभु मानी सनेह सेवकाई॥४॥
Meaning
“O Lord, you are my father, mother, friend, preceptor, master, the object of my adoration, my greatest benefactor and my inner controller. Nay, you are a guileless and kind patron, the repository of amiability, the protector of the suppliant, all-knowing, sagacious, (1) “all-powerful, the befriender of those who take refuge in you, quick to appreciate merit and drive away vice and sin. You are the only master like you, my lord; while I am unique in disloyalty to my master. (2) “Setting at naught in my folly the commands of my lord (yourself) and my father, I came here with multitude of men and women. In this world there are good men and vile, high and low, nectar and eternity (of gods), and venom and death etc. (3) “But nowhere have I seen or heard anyone who dare violate Śrī Rāma’s (your) orders even in thought. Yet that is what I have presumed to do not only in thought but even in word and deed and my lord has taken this presumption on my part as a token of affection and an act of service. (4)
कृपाँ भलाईं आपनी नाथ कीन्ह भल मोर। दूषन भे भूषन सरिस सुजसु चारु चहु ओर॥२९८॥
Meaning
“By his grace and goodness my lord has done me a good turn; my failings have become my adornments and my fair and bright renown has spread in all directions. (298)
