| Sthayi | मेहर की नजर कीजे | Mehar ki najar kije | Look upon me with compassion. |
| Sthayi | सुख संपद सब दीजे | Sukh sampad sab dije | Grant happiness and every prosperity. |
| Sthayi | तू करीम करतार | Tu Karim Kartar | You are the generous one, the Creator. |
| Antara | नित उठि आस तिहारी | Nit uthi aas tihaari | Each day I rise with hope in you. |
| Antara | साफ नजर तेरे दर का भिकारी | Saaf najar tere dar ka bhikaari | With a sincere gaze, I am a beggar at your door. |
| Antara | जग में करम फजल की शरम रख लीजे | Jag men karam phajal ki sharam rakh lije | In this world, uphold the honour of your kindness and grace. |
Word notes
Mehar ki najar asks for a compassionate look, and dar is the door at which the speaker begs. Karim expresses generosity, while Kartar addresses the Creator. Karam and phajal evoke kindness and grace; keeping their honour is an appeal for that mercy to be shown.
