ਤੇਰਿਆ ਭਗਤਾ ਕਉ ਬਲਿਹਾਰਾ ... ਰਾਗ ਬਸੰਤ ਹਿੰਡੋਲ  तेरेआं भगतां को बलिहारां ... राग बसंत हिंडोल  I am a sacrifice to Your devotees. Your abode is eternally beautiful. Your wonders are infinite. O Lord, you alone know your creative power and your creation. No one else knows it. He alone realizes You, O my Beloved, unto whom You show Your Mercy. Only You Yourself can perform Your service. No one else can do it. He alone is Your devotee, who is pleasing to You. You bless them with Your Love. You are the Great Giver; You are so very Wise. There is no other like You. You are my all powerful Lord and Master; I do not know how to worship You. Your mansion is imperceptible, O my Beloved; it is so difficult to accept Your Will. Says Nanak, I have surrendered at Your Door, Lord. I am foolish and ignorant, please save me.
