पायो जी मैंने राम रतन धन पायो
Expression of Mirabai's joy at attaining the jewel of Ram's name. A bhajan of complete surrender, devotion and spiritual wealth.
When to recite: Bhajan sessions, Ram Navami, devotional gatherings
पायो जी मैंने राम रतन धन पायो। वस्तु अमोलिक दी मेरे सतगुरु, किरपा करि अपनायो॥ जनम जनम की पूँजी पाई, जग में सभी खोवायो। खरचे नहिं कोई चोर न लेवे, दिन दिन बढ़त सवायो॥ सत की नाव खेवटिया सतगुरु, भवसागर तरवायो। मीरा के प्रभु गिरधर नागर, हरस हरस जस गायो॥
I have found it! I have obtained the jewel-wealth of Rama's name. My true Guru gave me this priceless treasure, And with grace made me his own. I have obtained the wealth accumulated over birth after birth, Which all the world had lost. It cannot be spent, no thief can take it — Day by day it grows manifold. The true Guru is the sailor, the boat is the truth — He took me across the ocean of existence. Mira's Lord is the clever mountain-lifter (Giridhar/Krishna) — With joy and joy she sings his praises.
