Doha 72
दीन्हि मोहि सिख नीकि गोसाईं। लागि अगम अपनी कदराईं॥ नरबर धीर धरम धुर धारी। निगम नीति कहुँ ते अधिकारी॥१॥
मैं सिसु प्रभु सनेहँ प्रतिपाला। मंदरु मेरु कि लेहिं मराला॥ गुर पितु मातु न जानउँ काहू। कहउँ सुभाउ नाथ पतिआहू॥२॥
जहँ लगि जगत सनेह सगाई। प्रीति प्रतीति निगम निजु गाई॥ मोरे सबइ एक तुम्ह स्वामी। दीनबंधु उर अंतरजामी॥३॥
धरम नीति उपदेसिअ ताही। कीरति भूति सुगति प्रिय जाही॥ मन क्रम बचन चरन रत होई। कृपासिंधु परिहरिअ कि सोई॥४॥
Meaning
“My lord, you have given me sound advice; but due to my faintheartedness it sounds impracticable to me. Only those noble men who are self-possessed and uphold the cause of virtue are fit to be taught the gospel of the Vedas and moral tenets. (1) “I am a mere child fostered by your loving care; can a cygnet lift Mount Mandara or Meru? I know no preceptor, nor father, nor mother: I tell you sincerely, believe me, my lord. (2) “Whatever ties of affection, love and confidence exist in the world as declared by the Vedas—for me they are all centred in you and you alone, my lord. O friend of the afflicted, O knower of the innermost hearts of all! (3) “Piety and propriety should be taught to him who is fond of glory, fortune and noble destiny. He, however, who is devoted to your feet in thought, word and deed—should he be abandoned, O ocean of mercy?” (4)
करुनासिंधु सुबंधु के सुनि मृदु बचन बिनीत। समुझाए उर लाइ प्रभु जानि सनेहँ सभीत॥७२॥
Meaning
Hearing these soft and polite words of His noble brother, the all-compassionate Lord clasped him to His bosom and consoled him, perceiving that he had lost his nerve out of love. (72)
