I wasted my life in the pursuit of unreal
And, now i have lost out in life's mission.
Everything is futile once the life breath ceases,
Knowing the truth, though, I succumbed to desire.
In this world, the one, blessed by Guru(master),
Can cure himself from the ills of lust.
Alas! I lost my life at an unknown bank of river
Ignorant of the path the Guru charted for us.
Sages said, "It is the good deeds of the Past,
Which bestow devotion to Guru."
Had I been wise enough to follow that path
Why would I have turned into a miscreant?
Now I realize, when it is time to wrap up,
Life is useless without Guru's blessings.
A chastened Fakir Lalan begs to ask,
Will he be able to behold the Unseen ever?
[The song belongs to the genre of ‘Murshid Tatwa’ ie. the role of
spiritual preceptor in the life of a seeker. Lalan
Fakir firmly believed that only an enlightened Master can guide his
disciple in the path of God realization.]
