बंदउँ गुरु पद पदुम परागा। सुरुचि सुबास सरस अनुरागा॥अमिय मूरिमय चूरन चारू। समन सकल भव रुज परिवारू॥
सुकृति संभु तन बिमल बिभूती। मंजुल मंगल मोद प्रसूती॥जन मन मंजु मुकुर मल हरनी। किएँ तिलक गुन गन बस करनी॥
श्रीगुर पद नख मनि गन जोती। सुमिरत दिब्य दृष्टि हियँ होती॥
In English
I bow to the pollen-dust of my guru’s lotus feet — fragrant, full of sweet devotion; a fine powder of the herb of immortality that cures the whole family of worldly ills. It clears the mirror of the devotee’s mind, and remembering it, a divine sight opens in the heart.
