Surdas

I have fallen so lowly:
I do not even have one bit of desire for you!
Powerful Maya has fettered me
In the guise of property, money and a fair wife.
I see it, I hear it, I know it,
But I still cannot get away from it.
With my own ears I have perceived: it was said
You are the salvation of those who have fallen very low.
I want to get into the boat of deliverance,
but I am unable to pay the fare to the boatman.
I do not ask anything new from you,
You have always been gracious towards the poor.
Incline with favour upon Sur,
Lord, King of Braja.
