I found this on the net. Corrections will be needed:

amrutahuni god naam tuze dewa
man maze keshwa ka ba n ghe

sang pandhariraya kai karu yashi
ka roop dhyanashi n ye tuze

kiratni baista nidre nagvile
man maze guntale vishysukha

haridas garjati harinamachy kirti
naye mazya chitti nama mahne

I was suspecting this was a Naamdeva composition. However, the label on the CD said "Haridaas." Is this another epithet for Naamdeva?

Also, does any one have a translation?

Here is my attempt at translating this beautiful Abhanga. It is abhanga by Sant Namadev

amrutAhunI gODa nAma tujhE dEvA – Oh God (dEvA)Your (tujhe) name (nAma) is sweeter (gOda) than a nectar (Amrutahuni)

mana mAjhE kEshavA kA bA na ghE – My (mAjhE) mind (mana) is Keshva then why (kA ) can’t I see you (bA na ghE)

sAnga paNDHarIrAyA kAya karu yAnsI – Oh lord of Phandarpur – Please tell (sAnga) me what (kAya) do I do (karu) with this one (yAnsI - my mind)?

kA rUpa dhyAnAsI na yE tujhE – Why (kA) can’t I see your (tujhE) roop(rUpa - image) in my mind- ( that is in a state of meditation -dhyAnAsI)

kirtanI baisatA nidrE nAgavilE – When I sit (baisatA) to sing in your praise (kiratni) I am spoilt or snatched (nAgavilE) by sleepiness (nidrE)

mana mAjhE guntalE viSayasukhA – My (mAjhE) mind (mana) is engaged/interested (guntalE) in materialistic pleasure (viSayasukhA)

haridAsa garjatI harinAmAcyA kirtI – your devotes (haridAsa ) are singing with passion/loudly (garjati) Harinamachya (name for vitthal) kirtI

nayE mAjhyA citI nAmA mhaNE - - (you are) not coming(nayE ) my (mAjhyA) chitti (focus of mind) iti Nama says (nAmA mhaNE)


Thanks
Poonam
