guru bina kaise guna aave
guru nahee maane guna nahee aave
beguna kaise gunee kahaave |
seekha se sikhaaye sabako
charana gahe gurudevana ke taba aave
achapala taala soora so ||
maane to rijhaave sabako
charana gahe guru kee Dhaba tava aave
achapala taala soora so ||

गुरु बिन कैसे गुन आवे
गुरु नही माने गुन नही आवे
बेगुन कैसे गुनी कहावे ।
सीख से सिखाये सबको
चरन गहे गुरुदेवन के तब आवे
अचपल ताल सूर सो ॥
माने तो रिझावे सबको
चरन गहे गुरु की ढब तव आवे
अचपल ताल सूर सो ॥
Meaning
How one can achieve mastery over any proficiency without a mentor (Guru)? The one who does not believe in the mentor will not achieve excellence, such a person without any expertise will not to be called as a true artiste. The Guru teaches virtues to all, If you bow down to him, then only you will get mastery over the difficult art of rhythm and notes, i.e. music.
