Translation of : मैं तो बद था ही
बदनाम भी हुआ
I was already known as having nothing good in me,
{With time } I grew more in infamy.
The world slandered me some,
some stains I acquired myself .
My caravan would have gone on like this
If Your door had not come in between!
I am still going on in the same old way,
I am still no good, I still keep on acquiring blemishes,
But still whenever I come to Your door,
My ill fame vanishes away
And I do not know where the stains on my character disappear!
And in that {subtle} atmosphere that you create;
My heart brims over.
That cup which You hold out forth for others to drink;
That cup calls me forth; and for that
My hand comes out to hold!
