During this week, I found myself seated at the piano, where I sang a shabad from my childhood memories. Similar to my earlier release, Jaise Tarvar Pankhi Basera, this particular shabad centers around discovering a place of happiness. The composition is inspired by an old composition from Bhai Gopal Singh and is set in Raag Bhairavi.
Mera Ghar Baneya - My Translation
My home is made, woods and water surround; I see my love, O Raam
My mind is adorned, my friends rejoice; I sing the songs of joy, O Raam
Singing the praises of Prabhu all desired have been fulfilled
On the Guru's feet my awakened mind resonates in bliss
Blessing me the peace bearer makes the known and unknown beautiful
I pray: let me always remember the support of my body and soul
