Hain Ankh Vo Jo Syama Ka Darsana
haiṅ
āṅkha vo jo śyāma kā daraśana kiyā kare haiṅ
śīṣ jo prabhu carana meṅ vandana kiyā kare bekāra
vo mukha hai, jo rahe vyartha bātoṅ meṅ mukha
vo hai jo hari nāma kā sumirana kiyā kare hīre
mote se nahīṅ śobhā hai hāth kī hai
hāth jo bhagavān kā pūjan kiyā kare marakara
bhī amara nāma hai us jīva kā jaga meṅ prabhu
prema meṅ balidāna jo jīvan kiyā kare
They are truly eyes that behold the vision of Syama (Krsna). It is truly a head that offers obeisances to the Lord feet in prayer. Useless is such a mouth that speaks useless topics. It is truly a mouth that constantly remembers Lord Hari's name. Diamond and pearls do not truly ornament a hand; for it is truly a hand offers prayers to the Lord. After death, the name of such a spirit soul remains immortal, for continuing to live after sacrificing everything for the love of the Lord.
