he paavan parmeshvar mere
he paavan parmeshvar mere
man hi man sharmaau
maili chaadar odhke kaise
dwaar tumhaare aaun
maili chaadar odhke kaise
dwaar tumhaare aaun
he paavan parmeshwar mere
man hi man sharmaau
maili chaadar odhke kaise
dwaar tumhaare aaun
maili chaadar odhke kaise

tune mujhko jag me bhejaa
nirmal dekar kaayaa
aakar ke sansaar me maine
isko daag lagaaya
janam janam ki maili chaadar
kaise daag chhudaaun
maili chaadar odhke kaise
dwaar tumhaare aaun
maili chaadar odhke kaise

nirmal vaani paakar tujhse
naam na teraa gaayaa
nain mundhkar he parmeshwar
kabhi na tujhko dhyaayaa
man veena ki taaren tuti
ab kya geet sunaaun
maili chaadar odhke kaise
dwaar tumhaare aaun
maili chaadar odhke kaise

in pairon se chal kar tere
mandir kabhi na aayaa
jahaan jahaan ho pujaa teri
kabhi na shish jhukaayaa
he harihar main haar ke aayaa
ab kyaa haar chadhaaun
maili chaadar odhke kaise
dwaar tumhaare aaun
he paavan parmeshwar mere
man hi man sharmaau
maili chaadar odhke kaise
maili chaadar odhke kaise
maili chaadar odhke kaise

O Holy God, my Lord,
My spirit cowers within.
How can I come before You,
Wrapped in a soiled sin?
How can I come before You,
Wrapped in a soiled sin?
O Holy God, my Lord,
My spirit cowers within.
How can I come before You,
Wrapped in a soiled sin?
Wrapped in a soiled sin?

You sent me forth, pristine,
A body pure and bright.
But in this world I entered,
And stained it with my blight.
This soiled cloak of lifetimes,
How can I make it new?
How can I come before You,
Wrapped in a soiled sin?
Wrapped in a soiled sin?

Pure speech You gave to me,
Yet Your name I did not sing.
With closed eyes, O God,
No thought of You did spring.
The strings of my heart's veena broke,
What song can I now play?
How can I come before You,
Wrapped in a soiled sin?
Wrapped in a soiled sin?

With these feet, I never walked
To Your temple's sacred space.
Where prayers ascend to You,
I bowed not my face.
O Harihar, defeated I come,
How can I shed this pain?
How can I come before You,
Wrapped in a soiled sin?
O Holy God, my Lord,
My spirit cowers within.
How can I come before You,
Wrapped in a soiled sin?
Wrapped in a soiled sin?
Wrapped in a soiled sin?
