Ab Laun Nasani — Tulsidas — full lyrics and bhavarth (meaning)

'Ab Laun Nasani' is a composition of Tulsidas. Tulsidas resolves — my life so far has gone to waste; I will not let it go to waste any more. By Ram's grace the night of worldly life has passed and I have woken up. I have found the wish-fulfilling jewel of Ram-naam and will not let it slip from my hand; the bee of my mind will now dwell only at the lotus feet of Raghupati.

Ab Laun Nasani — Tulsidas — full lyrics and bhavarth

Ab laun nasani, ab na nasaihaun ।
Ram-kripa bhav-nisa sirani, jage phiri na dasaihaun ॥
Payeun nam charu chintamni, ur kar ten na khasaihaun ।
Syamrup suchi ruchir kasauti, chit kanchnahin kasaihaun ॥
Parbas jani hansyo in indrin, nij bas hvai na hansaihaun ।
Man madhukar pan kari tulsi, raghupti pad-kamal basaihaun ॥
