ਭਗਤ ਵਛਲ ਸੁਨਿ ਹੋਤ ਹੋਂ ਨਿਰਾਸ ਰਿਦੈ ਪਤਿਤ ਪਾਵਨ ਸੁਨਿ ਆਸਾ ਉਰਧਾਰਿ ਹੋਂ ॥
O Lord, when I hear that you are beloved of those who worship you all the time, I, who is bereft of your worship become sad and disappointed. But on hearing that you forgive sinners and make them pious, a ray of hope kindles in my heart. 

ਅੰਤਰਜਾਮੀ ਸੁਨਿ ਕੰਪਤ ਹੋਂ ਅੰਤਰਿਗਤਿ ਦੀਨ ਕੈ ਦਯਾਲ ਸੁਨਿ ਭੈ ਭ੍ਰਮ ਟਾਰ ਹੋਂ ॥
I, the evil-doer, when hear that you are knower of innate feelings and thoughts of everyone, I tremble within. But hearing that you are clement on poor and destitutes, I shed all my fears. 

ਜਲਧਰ ਸੰਗਮ ਕੈ ਅਫਲ ਸੇਂਬਲ ਦ੍ਰੁਮ ਚੰਦਨ ਸੁਗੰਧ ਸਨਬੰਧ ਮਲਗਾਰ ਹੌਂ ॥
The silk cotton tree is well spread but doesn't bear any flower/fruit even during rainy season; but when influenced by sandalwood, it becomes equally fragrant. Similarly, an egoistic person transforms when influenced by the sandalwood-like True Guru.

ਅਪਨੀ ਕਰਨੀ ਕਰਿ ਨਰਕ ਹੂ ਨ ਪਾਵਹੁ ਠਉਰੁ ਤੁਮਰੇ ਬਿਰਦੁ ਕਰਿ ਆਸਰੋ ਸਮਾਰ ਹੌਂ ॥੫੦੩॥
Because of my ill deeds, I cannot find a place even in hell. But I am leaning and depending upon your character of merciful, benevolent, clement, and corrector of the evil-doers.  (503)

Mere Greh Aaye Raja Ram Bhatara - Bhai Avtar Singh Jee

Born at village Mulla Hamza in Montgomery District (now in Pakistan) in 1900 A.D., Bhai Samund Singh was given training in music by his father Bhai Hazur Singh Ji from his early child-hood. As a little boy he won a number of prizes and distinctions at musical concerts. He came to be known as 'Kaka Samund Singh' and was much in demand at Sikh congregations. His party came to be known as the best in the understanding of their art and almost perfect in presentation of Gurbani Kirtan. With his unique melo-dious voice, an extensive and deep understanding of Gur-bani, correct interpretation of ragas, attractive style of sing-ing and great human qualities, he reigned supreme for sixty years in the world of Gurbani Kirtan. He performed kirtan at the Gurdwara Janam Sthan, Sri Nankana Sahib, the birth place of Guru Nanak Dev, for many years. He broadcast kirtan for 36 years from All India Radio, Lahore and later from Jalandhar and commanded wide listening. Passers-by stopped in the streets to listen to his kirtan irrespective of their faith. He was invited to perform kirtan in the National Programme of Music by All India Radio, the highest recognition of his art. He was given State award by the Punjab Government in 1971. He passed away at Ludhiana (5th January, 1972).
