Translation Of Chaupai Sahib

[a singh]

Protect me O Lord, with thine own hands

All the desires of my heart are fulfilled.

Let my mind rest under Thy Feet.

Sustain me considering me Thine Own. (1)

Destroy, O Lord, all my enemies.

And protect me with Thine Own Hands.

May my family live in comfort and ease.

Along with all my servants and disciples. (2)

Protect me O Lord, with Thine Own Hands

And destroy this day all my enemies.

May all my aspirations be fulfilled.

Let my thirst for Thine name remain afresh. (3)

I may remember none else except Thee.

And obtain all the boons from Thee.

Let my servants and disciples cross the world ocean.

All my enemies be singled out and killed. (4)

Protect me, O Lord with Thine Own Hands.

And relieve me from the fear of Death.

May thou ever bestow Thy favours on my side.

Protect me, O Lord, the Supreme Destroyer. (5)

Protect me, O Lord, the Protector.

O Lord, most dear, and protector of the saints.

Friend of the poor, Destroyer of the enemies.

Thou art the Master of the fourteen worlds. 6

In due time Brahma appeared in physical form.

In due time Shiva incarnated.

In due time Vishnu manifested himself.

All this is the play of the Temporal Lord. (7)

The Temporal Lord, who created Shiva, the yogi.

Who created Brahma, the Master of the Vedas.

The Temporal Lord, who fashioned the entire world.

I salute the same Lord. (8)

The Temporal Lord who created the whole world.

Who created gods, demons and Yakshas.

He is the only one from the beginning to the end.

Consider Him only – my Guru. (9)

I salute Him, none else but Him.

Who has created Himself and all His subjects.

He bestows Divine virtues and happiness on his servants.

He destroys the enemies instantly. (10)

He knows the inner feelings of every heart.

He knows the anguish of both good and bad.

From the ant to the solid elephant.

He casts His Graceful Glance on all and feels pleased. (11)

He is painful when he sees his saints in grief.

He is happy when he sees his saints happy.

He knows the agony of everyone.

He knows the innermost secrets of every heart. (12)

When the creator projected himself.

His creation manifested itself in innumerable forms.

When at anytime he withdraws his creation,

All the physical forms are merged in him. (13)

All the bodies of living beings created in the world

Speak about Him according to their understanding.

But Thou, O Lord, live quite apart from everything.

This fact is known to the Vedas and the learned. (14)

The Lord is formless, Sinless and Shelterless.

He is the Primal Power, Blemishless, Beginningless and Unborn.

The fool claims boastfully about the knowledge of His Secrets

Which even the Vedas do not know. (15)

The fool considers Him a stone.

But the great fool does not now any secret.

He calls Shiva ‘The Eternal Lord’.

But he does not know the secret of the Formless Lord. (16)

According to ones own intellect

One describes Thee differently.

The limits of Thy creation cannot be known

And how the world was fashioned in the beginning ? (17)

He hath only one unparalleled Form.

He manifests Himself as a poor man or a King at different places.

He created creatures from eggs, wombs and perspiration.

Then he created the vegetable kingdom. (18)

Somwhere He sits joyfully as a King.

Somewhere he contracts Himself as Shiva, the yogi.

All his creation unfolds wonderful things.

He, the Primal Power, is from the beginning and self-existent. (19)

O Lord, keep me now under thy protection.

Protect my disciples and destroy my enemies.

All the villains creating outrage,

And all the infidels be destroyed in the battlefield. (20)

O Supreme Destroyer, those who sought Thy refuge,

Their enemies met painful death.

The purshas (persons) who fell at thy feet.

Thou didst remove all their troubles. (21)

Those who meditate even once on the Supreme Being.

Death cannot approach them.

They remain protected in all times.

Their troubles and enemies come to an end instantly. (22)

Upon whosoever Thou dost cast Thy favourable glance.

They are absolved of sins instantly.

They have all the wordly and spiritual pleasures in their homes.

None of the enemies can even touch their shadow. (23)

He who remembered Thee even once,

Thou didst protect him from the noose of Death.

Those persons who repeated Thy Name.

They were saved from poverty and attacks from enemies. (24)

O, the Lord of the Sword, I seek Thy refuge.

Protect me with Thine Own Hands.

Bestow Thy help on me at all times.

And protect me from the designs of my enemies. (25)
