देव! दूसरो कौन दीनको दयालु। सीलनिधान सुजान-सिरोमनि, सरनागत-प्रिय प्रनत-पालु॥ १॥ को समरथ सरबग्य सकल प्रभु, सिव-सनेह-मानस मरालु। को साहिब किये मीत प्रीतिबस खग निसिचर कपि भील भालु॥ २॥ नाथ हाथ माया-प्रपंच सब, जीव-दोष-गुन-करम-कालु। तुलसिदास भलो पोच रावरो, नेकु निरखि कीजिये निहालु॥ ३॥
Lord, who else is compassionate to the poor? You are the treasury of gracious character, crown of the wise, lover of the surrendered, and guardian of those who bow. (1) Who is able and all-knowing, Lord of all, the swan upon the mind-lake of Shiva’s love? What other master, overcome by love, made bird, night-roamer, monkey, Bhil, and bear his friends? (2) Lord, all Maya’s display, and every creature’s faults, qualities, karma, and time, are in your hand. Whether good or base, Tulsidas is yours; look upon him just once and bless him. (3)
