2016 Father's Day

Didi Ji lovingly remembering her Beloved Guru and her spiritual father

हे पिता सकल जग जके, हम शीश नवाते हैं,
   खिल जाते हृदय सुमन​, दर्शन जब पाते हैं ।
he pita sakal jag jake, ham sheesh navaate hain,
khil jaate hrday suman​, darshan jab paate hain .

तुम झूम झूम आते जब​, कितना सुख पाते हैं,
    हम सब की कौन कहे, तरु भी झुक जाते हैं ।
tum jhoom jhoom aate jab​, kitana sukh paate hain,
ham sab kee kaun kahe, taru bhee jhuk jaate hain .


तव प्यार भरी चितवन लखि, हम बलि बलि जाते हैं,
   अपनेपन का सागर, तव दृग छलकाते हैं ।
tav pyaar bharee chitavan lakhi, ham bali bali jaate hain,
apanepan ka saagar, tav drg chhalakaate hain .

अगणित गुण प्रभु तेरे, अति याद दिलते हैं,
   दृग नीर बहा मन को, कुछ समझा पाते हैं ।
aganit gun prabhu tere, ati yaad dilate hain,
drganeer baha man ko, kuchh samajha paate hain .

तुम्हरे शिशु हे पापा ! तव जय जय गाते हैं,
   नहिं पितु पटतर तुम्हरे, इस जग में पाते हैं ।
tumhare shishu he paapa ! tav jay jay gaate hain,
nahin pitu patatar tumhare, is jag mein paate hain .


स्वीकारो शत वन्दन​, पितु दिवस मनाते हैं,
   नहिं भूलूँ इक पल भी, यह कृपा मनाते हैं ।
sveekaaro shat vandan​, pitu divas manaate hain,
nahin bhooloon ik pal bhee, yah krpa manaate hain

O father of this Universe! I bow my head to you in reverence.
Our hearts blossoms like a beautiful flower, upon getting a glimpse of your magnificent personality.
 
Words cannot express the joy that we experience in watching your beautiful swaying gait. Your magnificence is such that not just humans, but even the trees bow down in reverence.
 
Seeing the loving affection in your eyes, I am ready to sacrifice everything upon you. 
I am enthused seeing the loving kinship in your eyes.

Your countless virtues, keep your memories always fresh in my mind. Tears are the only support that help calm me down.
 
O Papa! Your children sing your glories. None is this world is as benevolent a father as you.
 
Please accept by millions of obeisance on this Father’s Day. Please grace me so I don’t forget you even for a moment.
