(Ajab hairaan hun Bhagwan,tumhein kyun-kar rijhaaun mein
…..I am strangely perplexed Dear God , How do I please you
Koi vastu nahin aisi jise sewa mein laaun mein) 2
…….There is nothing which I can use for this purpose
Karun kis taur aawahan ki tum sarvatra vyaapak ho 2
……How do I call upon you as you are Universal, present everywhere
Niraadar hai bulaane ko ,agar ghanti bajaaun mein
…….It is disrespectful if I ring a bell to call upon you
Ajab hairaan hun Bhagwan,tumhein kyun-kar rijhaaun mein
…..I am strangely perplexed Dear God , How do I please you
Tumhin ho moorti mein bhi, tumhi vyaapak ho phoolon mein
……You are present in statues as well as flowers
Bhala Bhagwaan par Bhagwaan ko kyun-kar chadhaaun mein
……How do I offer God himself to God
Ajab hairaan hun Bhagwan,tumhein kyun-kar rijhaaun mein
…..I am strangely perplexed Dear God , How do I please you
Lagaana bhog kuchh tumko, ye ek apmaan karna hai 2
……Trying to feed you is an insult
Khilaata hai jo sab jag ko, use kyun-kar khilaaun mein
…….You feed the whole world, how can I feed you
Ajab hairaan hun Bhagwan,tumhein kyun-kar rijhaaun mein
…..I am strangely perplexed Dear God , How do I please you
Tumhaari jyoti se roshan hain Suraj ,Chaand aur Taare 2
…..Your radiance lights up Sun, Moon and Stars
Mahaa andher hai kaise tumhein Deepak dikhaaun mein
…..It is very unfortunate if I show a lamp to you
Ajab hairaan hun Bhagwan,tumhein kyun-kar rijhaaun mein
…..I am strangely perplexed Dear God , How do I please you
Bhujaaein hain naa gardan hai naa seena hai naa peshaani 2
…..You don’t have arms, neck, chest or forehead
Tum ho nirlep Naarayan, kahaan chandan lagaaun mein
……Nothing can be applied to you God, where do I put the sandalwood paste
Ajab hairaan hun Bhagwan,tumhein kyun-kar rijhaaun mein
…..I am strangely perplexed Dear God , How do I please you
Bade naadaan hain we jan jo ghadte aapki moorat 2
….Ignorant are those who make your idols
Banaata hai jo sab jag ko use kyun-kar banaaun mein
…..You create the whole world, how can I create you
Ajab hairaan hun Bhagwan,tumhein kyun-kar rijhaaun mein
…..I am strangely perplexed Dear God , How do I please you
Koi vastu nahin aisi jise sewa mein laaun mein
…….There is nothing which I can use for this purpose
Ajab hairaan hun Bhagwan,tumhein kyun-kar rijhaaun mein 2
…..I am strangely perplexed Dear God , How do I please you

The lyrics and translation are taken from wikipedia…….
वैष्णव जन तो तेने कहिये जे पीड पराई जाणे रे,
पर दु:खे उपकार करे तोये मन अभिमान न आणे रे,
सकल लोकमां सहुने वंदे निंदा न करे केनी रे,
वाच काछ मन निश्चल राखे धन धन जननी तेनी रे,
समदृष्टि ने तृष्णा त्यागी, परस्त्री जेने मात रे,
जिह्वा थकी असत्य न बोले,परधन नव झाले हाथ रे,
मोह माया व्यापे नहि जेने,दृढ़ वैराग्य जेना मनमां रे,
रामनाम शुं ताली रे लागी,सकल तीरथ तेना तनमां रे,
वणलोभी ने कपटरहित छे,काम क्रोध निवार्या रे,
भणे नरसैयॊ तेनु दरसन करतां,कुल एकोतेर तार्या रे ॥
English Translation……
He who understands the pain of others is one of God’s own.
Helping others in sorrow does not reduce his humility.
This person respects all people in the world,
and does not condemn or criticize anyone.
He is pure in speech, deed and thought.
His mother is blessed indeed!
He is equanimous and has given up all desires.
To him, other women are [equivalent to] mothers.
He never speaks the untruth, not even if his tongue is tired.
He does not covet others’ wealth.
Delusion and attachment do not affect him,
his mind is firm in detachment.
He is ever engrossed in God’s name and meditation,
and he embodies all places of pilgrimage.
Such a person has no greed and deceit.
He has overcome lust and anger.
Narsi says: Such a person is worthy of worship,
and alone elevates his entire race.

Gurur Brahma Gurur Vishnu,
Gurur Devo Mahesh Varah.
Guru Shakshat Para Brahma,
Tasmai Shri Guruve Namah.
Guru Gobind dou khade, Kaake laagun paanye- 2
Balihaari Guru aapne Gobind deeyo bataaye Kabira Gobind deeyo bataaye
Ye tan vish ki bel ri, Guru amrit ki khan- 2
Sheesh diye jo Guru mile to bhi sastaa jaan re Bandhu to bhi sastaa jaan
Sab Dharti kagaj karun, lekhni sab banrai-2
Saat samudra ki masi karun Guru-gun likha naa jaaye Kabira Guru-gun likha naa jaaye
Aisi baani boliye, man ka aapa khoye-2
Auran ko seetal kare, aapahu seetal hoye Kabira , aapahu seetal hoye
Bura jo dekhan mein chala, bura na miliya koye-2
Jo dil khoja aapna, mujhse bura na koye Kabira , mujhse bura na koye
Dukh mein sumiran sab karein, sukh mein kare na koye-2
Jo sukh mein sumiran karein, dukh kahe ko hoye Kabira dukh kahe ko hoye….

पूजनीय प्रभु हमारे भाव उज्ज्वल कीजिये
Reverend God please help us to have pious feelings
छोड़ देवें छल-कपट को, मानसिक बल दीजिये
May we leave treachery, and be strong in mind and spirit
वेद की बोलें ऋचाएँ, सत्य को धारण करें
May we recite Veda-mantras , and hold on to the truth
हर्ष में हों मग्न सारे, शोक-सागर से तरें
May all of us be jubilant in joy, and be delivered from the sea of sorrow
अश्वमेधादिक रचाएँ, यज्ञ पर-उपकार को
May we perform Ashvamedha yajnas and help others
धर्म-मर्यादा चला कर लाभ दें संसार को
May we always live with faith and dignity and benefit the world
नित्य श्रद्धा-भक्ति से यज्ञादि हम करते रहें
May we keep on performing yajnas regularly with faith and reverence
रोग-पीड़ित विश्व के संताप सब हरते रहें
And help to alleviate the world from the pain of disease and suffering
भावना मिट जाए मन से पाप-अत्याचार की
May our mind be free from the feelings of sin and atrocities
कामनाएँ पूर्ण होवें यज्ञ से नर-नार की
May the desires of all men and women be fulfilled by Yajna
लाभकारी हो हवन हर जीवधारी के लिए
May the hawan be beneficial for every living being
वायु-जल सर्वत्र हों शुभ गन्ध को धारण किए
May the air-water everywhere hold the auspicious smell
स्वार्थ-भाव मिटे हमारा, प्रेम-पथ विस्तार हो
May we get rid of our selfish feelings and enhance the path of love
“इदन्न-मम” का सार्थक प्रत्येक में व्यवहार हो
May we truly believe that “Nothing is mine” everything belongs to God and put it into practice
प्रेमरस में तृप्त होकर वन्दना हम कर रहे
We worship you feeling contented with love
नाथ करुणा-रूप करुणा आपकी सब पर रहे
O Lord, our protector may your kindness always be bestowed on everyone

Whenever I think about God, what comes to my mind is a great source of energy, power and positivity, a little amount of energy is also distributed from that source in this world, we too possess a part of it…..as for taking decision about the rights and wrongs, that energy inside us (which we call our अंतरात्मा) always warns us if we go against all what is positive according to it, henceforth it is our responsibility whether we weaken it or strengthen it, can’t blame God for everything….this is our ‘Life’….we have to live, love, fight and struggle and prove ourselves worthy for this amazing gift…..it is quite simple and scientific according to me. When that energy leaves us, we are nothing….. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but I firmly believe that one day Science will prove and explain about the existence of God………..as all the other mysteries, it will be uncovered some day whether we are there to see it or not…….
Anything or any belief which scares or frightens us is never good for us. I have seen so many people scared that they will be harmed if they do not follow rituals or keep fasts and sick patients and pregnant ladies fasting due to this. We are a part of that Supreme Energy, we should be Free and Fearless in spirit for all that is right, the only thing we should be afraid of is ‘Treading the wrong path’. That is why I also believe that all the people living their lives simply and positively and on the right path are worshipping God by doing this only, it doesn’t matter if they visit the religious places or not, perform special ceremonies or not….’Right Kind of Life is their Religion’ which is just great I feel……
