Poem of Surdas-2 (Translation)

(Jan ke upjat dukh kin kaatat?)

O Lord, why don't You end people's distress
as soon it is born- like the farmer who removes
the weeds before rains, as soon as these are visible.

As the fish who fears the gull,
O my Lord, keep me in check.

Remove my sins when these are small like pits;
if they turn into an ocean,
bridging them up would be difficult.
...
