As part of Bhagat Namdev's 750th birth anniversary celebrations I am listening to all kinds of compositions. Last night I heard something from Rabbi Shergill of bulla ki jaana fame. The composition is in Raag des which is similar to Raag Sorath under which Guru Arjan categorized this shabad. Sometime last year I made a composition of this shabad. I really like Rabbi Shergill's version - the video, the music, the meditation elements and the translation; everything that a meditative shabad needs is there.
Pāṛ Paṛōsaṇi - Thus Spake Namdev by Rabbi Shergill
Lyrics for Paar Parosan:
pāṛ paṛosaṇi pūchi le nāmā kā pahi chān chavāi ho
to pahi dugṇi majūrī daihau mo kau beḍhī dehu batāī ho
r ī bāī beḍhī denu nā jāī
dekh beḍhī rahio samāī
hamārai beḍhī prān adhārā
beḍhī prīti majūrī māngai jau koū chāni chavāvai ho
log kuṭamb sabhahu te torai tau āpan beḍhī āvai ho
aiso beḍhī barni nā sākau sabh antar sabh ṭhānī ho
gūngai mahā amrit rasu cakhiā pūchai kahanu na jāī ho
beḍhī ke guṇa suni rī bāī jaladhi bāndh dhrū thāpio ho
nāme ke suāmī sīa bahori lank bhabhikhaṇa āpio ho
English Translation:
The lady next door asks Nama 'Who made your hut?
I'll pay him double, just tell me who the builder is'
O lady! The builder can't be spoken of
See! He's everywhere
This builder is the source of all life
The builder demands love from whoever wants his hut made
Give up all attachment and the builder will come by himself
It's hard to describe a builder who is within and without
A mute may taste the elixir but describing it is beyond him
Listen well my lady! The builder bridged the ocean and put up the polestar
It was Nama's Lord that saved Sita and dedicated Lanka to Vibhishana
Singing oneness!
