ਬੇਨਤੀ ਚੌਪਈ ਸਾਹਿਬ

The Lord is One and the Victory is of the True Guru.

(By) Tenth Master, (in) Deviant Metre,

Speech of the poet. Chaupai

Protect me O Lord! with Thine own Hands

all the desires of my heart be fulfilled.

Let my mind rest under Thy Feet

Sustain me, considering me Thine own.377.

Destroy, O Lord! all my enemies and

protect me with Thine won Hnads.

May my family live in comfort

and ease alongwith all my servants and disciples.378.

Protect me O Lord! with Thine own Hands

and destroy this day all my enemies

May all the aspirations be fulfilled

Let my thirst for Thy Name remain afresh.379.

I may remember none else except Thee

And obtain all the required boons from Thee

Let my servants and disciples cross the world-ocean

All my enemies be singled out and killed.380.

Protect me O Lord! with Thine own Hands and

relieve me form the fear of death

May Thou ever Bestow Thy favours on my side

Protect me O Lord! Thou, the Supreme Destroyer.381.

Protect me, O Protector Lord!

Most dear, the Protector of the Saints:

Friend of poor and the Destroyer of the enemies

Thou art the Master of the fourteen worlds.382.

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.383.

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.384.

The Temporal Lord, who created the whole world

Who created gods, demons and yakshas

He is the only one form the beginning to the end

I consider Him only my Guru.385.

I salute Him, non else, but Him

Who has created Himself and His subject

He bestows Divine virtues and happiness on His servants

He destroys the enemies instantly.386.

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.387.

He is painful, when He sees His saints in grief

He is happy, when His saints are happy.

He knows the agony of everyone
