” O God Beautiful- Paramhansha Yoganandaji’s English translation of Chant by Guru Nanak ( 15 century saint) . It is addressed to the invisible God in His aspect of visible and inexhaustible Nature “
ହେ ହରି ସୁନ୍ଦର, ହେ ହରି ସୁନ୍ଦର !
ଚରଣ ତଳେ ତୁମ କରେ ମଥାନତ,
କାନନେ କାନନେ ଶ୍ୟାମଳ ଶ୍ୟାମଳ,
ପର୍ବତେ ପର୍ବତେ ଉନ୍ନତ ଉନ୍ନତ,
ସରିତେ ସରିତେ ଚଞ୍ଚଳ ଚଞ୍ଚଳ,
ସାଗରେ ସାଗରେ ଗମ୍ଭୀର ହେ ହରି ।
ସେବକ ଜନର ତୁମେ ଯେ ସେବାରେ
ପ୍ରେମିକ ଜନର ପ୍ରେମ ମହିମାରେ
ଦୁଃଖୀ ଜନର ହରି ସମବେଦନାରେ
ଯୋଗୀଜନର ଆନନ୍ଦ ହେ ହରି !
ହେ ହରି ସୁନ୍ଦର, ହେ ହରି ସୁନ୍ଦର। “
” O God beautiful, O God beautiful,
In the forest Thou art green,
In the mountain Thou art high,
In the river Thou art restless,
In the ocean Thou art grave,
To the serviceful Thoubart Service,
To the lover, Thou art love,
To the sorrowful Thou Art sympathy,
To the yogi, Thou art bliss,
O God beautiful, O God beautiful
At thy feet, O I do bow ! “
The original words of Guru Nanak which Paramahansaji has given in his Cosmic chants in Hindi are
ऐ हरि सुंदर, तेरे चरण पर सेर नमो
वनो वनो में श्यामल श्यामली
गिरी गिरी में उन्नत उन्नति
सरिता सरिता चंचल चंचल
सागर सागर गंभीर ऐ हरि! ऐ हरि सुंदर,
ऐ हरि सुंदरी सचेत जन के सेवा सेवा करे
प्रेमिक जन के प्रेम प्रेम करे दुखी जाने के हरि
वेदान वेदान योगी जानो के आनंद ऐ हरि !!
