Lyrics / गीत
ओहदी किरपा नाल, बरकता मिलदिया ने
ओहतो वखरा होके, कोई कुझ नहीं कर सकदा
ओह चाहवें ता मंज़िला, कदमी आण डिगण,
ना चाहवें ता इक्क कदम, अग्गे नहीं धर्र सकदा
१. ओह हैं सर्वव्यापी, हर थां वस्सदा ए
ओह तो कुझ नहीं लुकेया, ओह सब नू तक्कदा ए – २
धर्मी ओहदे राज़ च, मौज़ा मानणगे – २
कोई आकड़बाज नहीं, ओहदे घर विच्च वड़ सकदा – २
२. जिस ते चाहवें रहमत, ओह बरसा देवें
कमले जे नू फड़के, तख्त बिठा देवें – २
केहंदा सादक भेद नहीं, ओहदे कम्मा दा – २
विच्च ठूठे दे ओह सारा, सागर भर सकदा – २
३. ओहदे तालिबा नू कोई, आऊंदी थोड़ नहीं
किसे दे अग्गे, हत्थ अडण दी लोड़ नहीं – २
जाणदा ओह साडीया, सारीया लोड़ा नू – २
इक्क पल दे विच्च ओह खाली, झोली भर सकदा – २
English Translation
By His grace, we receive blessings.
Separated from Him, no one can do anything.
If He wills, destinations will fall at our feet,
If He does not will, we cannot take a single step forward.
1. He is omnipresent, He dwells everywhere.
Nothing is hidden from Him, He watches over everyone.
The righteous will rejoice in His kingdom,
No arrogant or proud person can enter His house.
2. On whomever He wishes, He showers His mercy.
He holds the hand of the simpleton and seats them on a throne.
Saadaq says, there is no understanding the mystery of His works,
Inside a small bowl, He can fill the entire ocean.
3. His seekers never face any lack.
They do not need to spread their hands (to beg) before anyone.
He knows all our needs,
In a single moment, He can fill an empty life with blessings.
Spiritual Meaning & Theme
This powerful Punjabi Masih Geet focuses entirely on the sovereignty, grace, and limitless provision of God.
- Absolute Dependence: The chorus echoes the biblical truth found in John 15:5 (“Apart from me you can do nothing”). It declares that every blessing is a result of His grace, and without His will, human effort is completely powerless.
- God Opposes the Proud: The first stanza highlights God’s omniscience (seeing everything) and strictly warns that arrogant people (Aakadbaaz) cannot enter His kingdom, while the righteous will rejoice.
- Doing the Impossible: The song uses a beautiful metaphor in the second stanza—God can fit an entire ocean into a small bowl (Thoothe). It shows that His ways are mysterious and His power is boundless, allowing Him to elevate the lowest of society to places of honor.
- Divine Provision: The final verse brings immense comfort, assuring believers that those who seek the Lord will lack no good thing. They will never need to beg before the world because God knows their needs and can fulfill them in an instant.
