Glory of Food
Gareeb, sukh dena dukh metna, taaza raakhe tan.
Sur tetison khush kiye, namaskaar tohe Ann.
Ann jal sahib roop hai,
kshudhya trisha jaaye.
Chaaro yug pramaan hain, aatma bhog lagaaye.
Jo apne so aur ke, ekai peedh pichhaan.
Bhukhiyan bhojan det hain, pahuchenge pramaan.
Ann dev tu alakh dayaalam, tere paldai tulai na laalam.
Ann dev tu jagmag jyoti, tere palde tule na moti.
Vairaag kis kaam na aavai, Ann dev tu sab man bhaavai.
Vairaag hai patthar bhaari, Ann dev tu aap Muraari.
Kshudhya trisha metai peedha, tere palde tule na heera.
Daas gareeb ye Ann ki mahima, Teen lok mein jaaka rahima.
Meaning Summary
Saint Garibdas Ji portrays food (Ann) as a divine presence that nurtures both body and soul. Food brings joy, ends suffering, and pleases even the celestial gods. It is the foundation of spiritual practice, without which even meditation and detachment are hollow. Sharing food with the hungry is the highest form of compassion, lifting one to divine realms. More valuable than jewels, more radiant than light, food surpasses material wealth and even renunciation in spiritual worth. In this hymn, Ann is revered as God Himself—a provider, healer, and the hidden force sustaining all three realms: earth, heaven, and the beyond.
