Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation
Verse 1
पायो जी मैंने राम रतन धन पायो।
वस्तु अमोलिक दी मेरे सतगुरु, किरपा कर अपनायो॥
Payo ji maine Ram ratan dhan payo
Vastu amolik di mere satguru, kirpa kar apnayo
O, I have found the priceless wealth of Rama's name! My true Guru gave me this invaluable treasure and, by his grace, made me his own.
Verse 2
जनम जनम की पूँजी पाई, जग में सभी खोवायो।
खरचै नहिं कोई चोर न लूटै, दिन दिन बढ़त सवायो॥
Janam janam ki punji payi, jag mein sabhi khovayo
Kharchai nahin koi chor na lutai, din din badhat savayo
I have gained the capital of countless lifetimes, having lost all else in the world. It is never spent, no thief can steal it — day by day it grows ever greater.
Verse 3
सत की नाव खेवटिया सतगुरु, भवसागर तर आयो।
मीरा के प्रभु गिरधर नागर, हरख हरख जस गायो॥
Sat ki naav khevatiya satguru, bhavsagar tar aayo
Meera ke prabhu Girdhar Nagar, harakh harakh jas gayo
The true Guru is the boatman of the ship of truth, by whom I have crossed the ocean of existence. Meera's Lord is Girdhar Nagar (Krishna); with joy upon joy she sings his praise.
