गुरुजी, तुम बिन मेरा कौन?
गुरुजी, तुम बिन मेरा कौन?
इस जगत में भीड़ा भयो भारी,
तुम ही मेरे पालनहार।
गुरुजी, तुम बिन मेरा कौन? || प ||
भवसागर में फँसी नाव जब,
तुम ही थे न केवल पार लगाने।
तुम्हारी छाया ऐसो रह्यो जी,
थारी जाऊँ भव पार।
English Transliteration:
Guruji, tum bin mera kaun?
Guruji, tum bin mera kaun?
Is jagat mein bheeda bhayo bhaari,
Tum hi mere paalanhār.
Guruji, tum bin mera kaun? || Pa ||
Bhavsāgar mein fansi nāv jab,
Tum hi the na keval paar lagāne.
Tumhārī chhāyā aiso rahyo jī,
Thārī jāū̃ bhav pār.
English Meaning:
O Guruji, without you—who do I have?
In this vast, crowded world,
You alone are my true guardian and sustainer.
O Guruji, without you—who do I have? || Chorus ||
When the boat of life was stuck in the ocean of existence,
It was only you who came to carry it safely across.
The shelter of your presence was so divine—
That under its shade, I crossed over to the shore of liberation.
Reflection:
This heartfelt bhajan is a soul’s call to the Guru—the divine guide and protector who leads us through the darkness of worldly suffering to the light of self-realization. With touching simplicity, it acknowledges the helplessness one feels amidst life’s struggles and the unshakable trust placed in the Guru’s grace.
The image of a boat stuck in the ocean represents our human life caught in the currents of karma, illusion, and pain. The Guru, here, is not just a teacher but a savior, whose presence alone enables us to cross the ocean of samsāra. The mention of “Guruji’s shadow” symbolizes the deep peace and safety that comes under the spiritual master's care.
In today’s chaotic world, this bhajan is a gentle reminder to remain anchored in faith. When confused, tired, or afraid, turning toward the Guru—whether in physical form or inner connection—brings calm, clarity, and direction. Offer this song as a prayer from your heart, and feel the quiet strength it invokes.
