# 20 Darshan Bin Jiyera Tarse

Bhajan lyrics

भजन: दर्शन बिन जियरा तरसे

राग।   : ठुमरी खमाच 

   

दर्शन बिन जियरा तरसे । टेक।

घडीघडी दिनदिन पलपल छिनछिन कल न पड़त

नहीं धरत धीर मन नीर नैन से बरसे |१|

बिनती हमारी अब सुनो गिरधारी तुम जाबुं बलिहारी

तेरे चरणकमल तोपे वारी मेरी जान जिगर से ।२।

कीजिये सुनाई मेरी देर क्यों लगाई अब और न सहाई

तेरे बिना यदुराई मुझे लीजिये बचाई निज करसे ।३।

दूषन हमारो सब दिल से बिसारो प्रभु ब्रह्मानंद

निहारो निज नैनन तारो भवसिंधु लहर से ।४। 

Bhajan: Darshan bin jiyra tarse

Raag : thumari  khamach

Darshan bin jiyra tarse |repeat| 

Ghadi ghadi  din din palpal chhin chhin

Kal n padat nahi dharat dheer man 

Neer nain se barse |1|

Binti humari ab suno girdhari tum

Jabu balihari tere charanakamal 

Tope vari meri jaan jigar se |2|

Keejiye sunayi meri der kyu lagayi ab

Aur n sahayi tere bina yadurai 

Mujhe lijiye bachayi nij kar se |3|

Dooshan humaro sab dil se bisaro 

Prabhu brahmanand niharo nij nainan

Taro bhav sindhu leher se |4|

Semantics: 

Oh, Lord! My heart yearns to behold you,

My mind grows restless,

Every moment, every hour, all day,

My tears flow ceaselessly.

Hear my pleas, oh Lord!

My complete surrender is at your lotus feet,

I am willing to sacrifice my entire existence for you.

Listen to my prayers, oh Lord!

Why the delay?

I cannot bear the agony of separation,

No one else can aid me but you.

Please come and rescue me with your divine hands,

Oh Lord! Overlook my transgressions,

I belong to you, cast your gaze upon me.

Please! Deliver me from the ocean of worldly woes.
