Lyrics in Hindi (Devanagari)

तर्ज – तुम्ही मेरे मंदिर।

हमें श्याम सुंदर,
भरोसा तुम्हारा,
दे दो सहारा,
ना कोई हमारा।।


विष प्याला ले कर में,
मीरा पुकारी,
विष भोग आकर के,
लगाओ मुरारी,
मीरा ने प्याले में,
तुमको निहारा,
दे दो सहारा
ना कोई हमारा।।


जमाने के आगे,
बहुत बार रोया,
पापों की गठरी,
सर पे है ढोया,
दर दर पे भटका मैं,
बनके बेचारा,
दे दो सहारा
ना कोई हमारा।।


मैं हूं दुखी और,
तुम दुख हारी,
क्या जोड़ी बनी है,
हमारी तुम्हारी,
प्रभु नाम है,
दीन बंधु तुम्हारा,
दे दो सहारा
ना कोई हमारा।।


हमें श्याम सुंदर,
भरोसा तुम्हारा,
दे दो सहारा,
ना कोई हमारा।।

Simple English Meaning (Bhava-Focused)

“Hamen Shyam Sundar” is the cry of a soul that has nowhere else to turn. The devotee places complete bhava—emotional surrender—on Krishna, the dark-complexioned beloved, trusting only in His grace.

Invoking Meera’s story, the bhajan recalls how she drank poison but saw only Krishna in the cup. “Tumko nihara” means: even in suffering, the devotee sees only the Divine. Pain becomes prasad when offered with love.

The lines “pap ki gathari sar pe” speak of the weight of past mistakes. Yet the devotee doesn’t hide. They come to God burdened, broken, and still call out—”de do sahara”—give me support, for I have no one else.

“Tum dukh hara, hum dukhi”—You remove sorrow, yet I remain in pain. This paradox is the heart of devotion: not asking to escape suffering, but to feel God’s presence within it.

The refrain returns like a heartbeat: “De do sahara, na koi hamara.” In a world of fleeting relationships, only Shyam Sundar remains. This is the ultimate surrender—to admit helplessness and still believe in love.

When & How to Chant

  • Ideal time: Any moment of longing, especially evenings or during personal hardship.
  • Simple offerings: A tulsi leaf, a ghee lamp, or silent tears.
  • Repetition: Chant 11x when seeking comfort; 108x during Shravan or times of deep surrender.

Cultural Legacy

This bhajan is lovingly sung in homes and satsangs across India.

Devotees Ask (FAQs)

Can I chant this if I don’t know Hindi?

Absolutely. The divine hears the heart’s intention. Start with listening, and let the melody carry your prayer.

Why is Meera mentioned with poison?

Meera chose Krishna over poison—and survived. Her faith turned death into devotion. This stanza reminds us: when God is seen in all, even pain becomes sacred.

Is it okay to chant when feeling hopeless?

Yes. This bhajan was born from despair. Your helplessness is not weakness—it’s an invitation for grace.

Can I play the video during my morning puja?

Yes. Let Surbhi Chaturvedi’s voice elevate your home into a temple. Play it with folded hands and an open heart.
