Sur Ke Gati Main Kya Jaanoon - Lyrics & Translation

Lyrics

Sur ki gati main kyaa jaanoon 
Ek bhajan karna jaanoon 

Arth bhajan ka bhi ati gehraa 
Usko bhi main kyaa jaanoon 
Prabhu prabhu prabhu karna jaanoon 
Naina jal bharna jaanoon 

Gun gaaye prabhu nyaay na chhode 
Phir kyun tum gun gaate ho 
Main bola main prem deewaana 
Itni baaten kyaa jaanoon 

सुर की गति मैं क्या जानूं 
एक भजन करना जानूं 

अर्थ भजन का भी अति गहरा 
उसको भी मैं क्या जानूं 
प्रभु प्रभु प्रभु करना जानूं 
नैना जल भरना जानूं 

गुण गाये प्रभु न्याय न छोड़े 
फिर क्यूँ तुम गुण गाते हो 
मैं बोला मैं प्रेम दीवाना 
इतनी बातें क्या जानूं

Translation

'Notations of tunes,' how may I know? 
Prayer I sing, the only thing I know. 

Meaning of prayer is too profound. 
That too how may I know? 
Oh'lord, my lord, chanting I know. 
To fill eyes with tears I do know. 

Even if I sing his praises, the lord doesn't leave justice. 
Then why do you sing in his praises? 
I said that, I am a devotee very zealous. 
So many things, how do I know?
