Lord of the helpless, open Thine eyes: long I am standing in Thy presence

Lord of the helpless, open Thine eyes: long I am standing in Thy presence.

They were my defenders yet they prove my foes: all treat me harshly.
Without Thee I have no defender: my boat is tossed, arrested in mid ocean.

No rest by day, no sleep by night: ever I stand and waste away.
The arrow of separation has struck my heart: never for one moment can I forget.

Turned into stone and prone in the jungle, yet Ahaliya Thou didst save.
What burden then can Mira prove, but a hundred seers and five seers more.

In Rai Das have I found the perfect Guru: from the beginning it was written with the pen.
When the Sat Guru came and showed the sign, the light in the light was mingled.
