Pūrvanu puṇya pragaṭ thayu jyāre,

 Swāminārāyaṇ maḷiyā re tyāre;

The pious merits of my past materialized when I met Bhagwan Swaminarayan.

Neṇe Mohanvar nīrakhyā jyāre,

 pūraṇkām thayu māru tyāre... 1

When I observed Maharaj with my own eyes, I became completely fulfilled.

Preme karī mandir padhrāvyā,

 Shyām Sundarvar manaḍe re bhāvyā;

I welcomed him to my mandir (home or heart) with love. I developed love for him.

Nīrakhī Nārāyaṇ mūrti jyāre,

 trividh tāp ṭaḷyā mārā tyāre... 2

When I saw the murti of Maharaj, the three types of suffering vanished.

Kesar chandan charchyu chhe bhāle,

 hastā sundar khāḍā paḍe chhe gāle;

Maharaj has applied saffron chandan to his forehead. When he laughs, dimples form on his cheeks.

Kānumā kunḍaḷ makarākār shobhe,

 Jerām kahe man joī joī lobhe... 3

The fish-shaped earrings dangling from his ears are beautiful. Jeram says his mind is captivated by them.
