Lyrics for a sabad

[rshankar]

Lji or anyone else, can you please post the lyrics of the absolutely lovely gur(u)bAni that starts with 'ThAkur tum' sung by both Smt. MSS and Sri Paluskar (I think in mAND).

Thanks!

[Lakshman]

S: thAkur tum sharaN AyA
An: utari gayO mErE mankA samshay jabtE darshan pAyA
Abh1: anbOlat mErI birthA jAnI apnA nAm japAyA
dukh nATE sukh sahaji samAyE anand anand guN gAyA
2: bAnh pakari lInE akhunE grha andh kUpatE mAyA
kahu nAnak guru bandhan kATE bichurat Ani milAyA

[rshankar]

Thanks, Lji. What do S, An, and Abh stand for?

[Lakshman]

They stand for sthAyi, antarA and AbhOg (like CM pallavi, anupallavi and caraNa).

[rshankar]

Thanks! Is that special for these Sabads, or is it part of all bandiS'?

[Lakshman]

It generally applies to all HM compositions but most people don't use the terms except in theory books.

[rshankar]

Thanks Lji.
