How can we count His blessings ?
"तोड़ दे मौलवी अपनी तसवी (माला), क्यों गिन के नाम लूँ उसका, जो बेहिसाब देता है"
O PRIEST, WHY SHOULD YOU TAKE HIS NAME ON COUNT OF BEADS – HOW CAN YOUR COUNT MATCH HIS COUNTLESS BLESSINGS
पाईंया तेरे दर तो मैं, रहमतां हज़ारां
I've found countless blessings from You
शुक्र गुज़ारा तेरा, शुक्र गुज़ारा
I'm extremely grateful
दुख देवें सुख देवें, झोली विच पा लँवा
दुखां नूं वी दातया मैं सुखां नाल ला लँवा
जेड़ा वेला आंवे ओइयो हँस के गुज़ारा
Whether You give me happiness or sorrow, I love that (झोली विच पा लँवा)
and I feel elated (हँस के गुज़ारा) all the time (जेड़ा वेला) because Time is under Your control
कोडियां दा मुल नहीं सी, हीरयाँ दा पै गया
I was not worth a dime (कोडियां), but was valued as diamond (हीरयाँ)
जदो दा मैं दाता तेरे, चरणा च बै गया
since the time (जदो दा) I took (बै) Your (दाता तेरे) shelter
क्यों ना दाता तेरे ते मैं, तन मन वाराँ
why should I not surrender (तन मन वाराँ) my everything on You
शुक्र गुज़ारा तेरा, शुक्र गुज़ारा
दर दर रूलया सी, किसे ना संभालाया
I was being tossed about (दर दर रूलया) in life, nobody protected (संभालाया) me
मेहर कीती सत गुराँ ने, चरनाँ च ला लया
thanks to Your grace (मेहर), You took me at Your feet (चरनाँ)
चंगे वेले सुन लइयां, साडिया पुकाराँ
You heard my (साडिया) cries (पुकाराँ) for help very timely (चंगे वेले)
शुक्र गुज़ारा, तेरा शुक्र गुज़ारा
रहमताँ नूं वेख अख्खाँ, हंस पइयाँ रोंदियां
appreciating Your grace, my crying eyes (रोंदियां) started laughing (हंस)
साडे कोलो दाता तेरी सिफ़ता नहीं होंदियां
I (साडे) am not able (नहीं होंदियां) to sing Your praises (सिफ़ता) in words
क्यों ना दाता तेरे ते मैं, तन मन वाराँ
शुक्र गुज़ारा तेरा शुक्र गुज़ारा
सुख पाया, सुख पाया, रहम तेरी सुख पाया
I found bliss, I found bliss with Your grace

Being grateful is the greatest feeling & is the most precious to Lord - He only wants us all to be grateful for everything He has provided to us - our soul, i.e., our very life breath, air, water, earth, sky, Sun & fire (for cooking & digesting in stomach), vegetables, assistance of others (He only is sitting inside each heart & guiding each being, from Lord Brahma to an ant) in helping us sustain & grow ourselves & even our basic existence of being alive & all our individual skills (on the basis of which we earn through work/jobs & consequent money & wealth) are His grace on us- since countless TIME.
FOR ALL THE FREE GIFTS PROVIDED BY HIM, ALL THAT GOD WANTS FROM US IS TO BE GRATEFUL TO HIM, EACH MOMENT, i.e., WITH EACH BREATH as without His grace & mercy (कृपा), next breath is not possible.
"शुक्र गुजारा तेरा शुक्र गुजारा"
O Lord, we are indeed thankful to You for everything.
