I will even die for You, my Lord
With happiness I'll live if it's what You wish today;
With unhappiness I'll live if You send it my way.
There is nothing at all that I wish to say;
My whole life I will spend to follow Your way . . . . . . .
I will give up those things which You do not find okay;
I will do what You like in the manner You say.
Wealth and comfort do not my attention sway;
In You company my heart sings the whole day . . . . . . .
Money and belongings do not my hunger mislay;
With truth only I desire to associate my stay.
To me family members no attachment convey;
From all worldly temptations I am staying away . . . . . . . .
Dearest Lord, please give me pure thoughts each and every day:
So that always on the path of love to stroll I may.
This fire of illusion let me firmly allay;
For my deepest desire is at Your feet to lay . . . . . . . . . .
Countless births have I wasted up till now in dismay;
For the heights of the spirit in this life, I do pray.
To You merciful "Kripalu" my heart I display;
For You in this lifetime, I will accept death as pay . . . . . . . .
Brahmeshwara Aarti transliterated
Do not get Diverted from the Lord
Forever Kindle the Flame of Faith
I will even die for You, my Lord
The Highest Spiritual Practice
You are the Doer, Oh Lord, not I
Enrique Romaguera and Leela translated this song so that it could be sung using the translation in the book Streams of Love in 1979.

Aapanaa kaaje Maravun Chhe
sukha aapo to maare levun chhe,
duhkha aapo to te sahevun chhe,
mukhathi kani nava kahevun chhe,
jema aapa raakho tema rahevun chhe . . . . . . . .
ho aapane anagamatun je je,
te te ja badhun paraharavun chhe,
ane je je gamatun hoya ghanun,
te te ja sadaa aacharavun chhe . . . . . . . . .
Dhana- vaibhavani mane bhukha nathi,
sat-sangatathi mana narvun* chhe, (*saarun)
nathi kaamanaa patni-putra tani,
have mohajale naa padavun chhe . . . . . . . .
basa premanaa panthe priyatam prabhu!
shuddha, nishrvala manthi vicharavun chhe,
bhadabhadato agni paara karine pan,
aapanaa charane viramavun chhe . . . . . . . . . .
men agnita janmo vyartha gumaavyaa,
have jivanan saarthaka karavun chhe,
aa janme to svaami 'Kripaalu'
eka aapanaa kaaje maravun chhe . . . . . . ..
