My Favourite Bhajan - Dinan Dukh haran ... written by Surdas that invokes Bhakti/Devotion to the Lord

Dinan Dukh haran ... written by Surdasin Brij bhasha in 15th century and sung greatly by Jagjit Singh. Also it was sung by the great saint from Shahjahanpur (UP, India) Shri Ram Chandra ji Maharaj, affectionately called Babuji,  the ONLY song that was recorded lovingly by his disciple Shri Parthasarathi Rajagopalachariji Maharaj. The pangs of separation of the Seeker from his beloved expressed so beautifully! The lyrics and meanings are as follows:                                               

                                  Deenan dukh haran dev santan hitkari

ajamil geedh byadh inme kah kaun saadh


panchhi ko pad padhaat ganika si taari


deenan dukh haran dev ...


dhruva ke sar chhatra det


prahalad ko ubari det


bhakta hetu bandhyo setu


lankpuri jaayi


deenan dukh haran dev .....


gaj ko jab grah grasyo


duhshashan cheer khasyo


sabha beech krishna krishna draupati pukari


deenan dukh haran dev .....


itne hari aaye gaye


basnan aaroorh bhaye


surdas dware khado aanadhro bhikhari


deenan dukh haran dev santan hitkari


deenan dukh haran dev .....


Meaning :
 
The Lord who removes the pain of the sufferers and the humble;  well wisher of all the saints

Azamil , the vulture , the hunter , tell me who was perfect among them?

Who taught great words  to a bird and made it Ganika (a man who lives with a 

went to a prostitute -here Azamil ) who moved him  across this bhavasagar the ocean of this world ...

Who protected Dhruva's by giving him  shelter, and saved Prahalad

Who constructed the bridge to go to the city of Lanka,  f
or the sake of a devotee?

When the Crocodile grabbed the Gajraj (the elephant) in his jaws ...who came to save him ?

When Duhshashan unrobed
Draupadi,

 "Krishna Krishna "  called 
Draupadi  from the midst of  the Hall ..
Who saved her with robes? 

So many times God has (descended here) come and gone...
but Surdas, a blind beggar  is still standing at Your doorsteps -

When You have showered  so much  grace upon so many,

Why don't you also be kind towards me.
