Lyrics / गीत
आश्रय करने वालों को लज्जित ना किया
तेरी दया ने मुझे ना छोड़ा – २
खाली हाथ मैं यहां तक आया
तूने मुझको दो दल बनाया – २
एल-एलोही स्तुति करूंगा – ४
१. ज़ख्मी मैं था, आंसू मैं बहाया
खोया हुआ मुझे, ढूंढकर तू आया – २
वाचा तूने मेरे साथ किया
सब कुछ तूने लुटा दिया – २
एल-एलोही स्तुति करूंगा – २
२. अपने सारे लोगों, ने ठुकरा दिया
ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा मुझे तूने दिया – २
परदेशी मैं इस जहान पर रहा
वहां तूने वारिस बनाया – २
एल-एलोही स्तुति करूंगा – २
English Translation
Those who take refuge in You are never put to shame,
Your mercy has never forsaken me – 2
I came all this way empty-handed,
But You have made me into two camps (greatly multiplied me) – 2
El-Elohi (God Almighty), I will praise You – 4
1. I was wounded, I shed many tears,
I was completely lost, but You came searching for me – 2
You made a sacred covenant with me,
And You poured out everything for me – 2
El-Elohi, I will praise You – 2
2. All of my own people rejected me,
But You gave me far more than I ever needed – 2
I lived as a foreigner (sojourner) in this world,
But there You made me an heir – 2
El-Elohi, I will praise You – 2
Spiritual Meaning & Theme
This beautiful song draws heavily from the life of Jacob in the Old Testament, creating a powerful testimony of God’s abundant provision and unmerited grace.
- The Prayer of Jacob: The chorus contains a direct and stunning reference to Genesis 32:10. When Jacob was praying to God, he said, “I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps (Do dal).” The worshiper acknowledges that they started with absolutely nothing (empty-handed), but God’s grace multiplied their blessings beyond measure.
- No Shame in Christ: The opening line reflects Psalm 34:5 (“Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame”). It is a bold declaration that putting your trust (refuge) in the Lord will never lead to disappointment.
- From Foreigner to Heir: The second stanza beautifully illustrates the Gospel transition found in Galatians 4:7 and Ephesians 2:19. Though the world and even our own people might reject us, leaving us to feel like strangers and foreigners (Pardesi), God steps in and adopts us, making us full heirs (Waaris) to His kingdom.
