Meerabai

पायो जी म्हें तो राम रतन धन पायो।
वस्तु अमोलक दी म्हारे सतगुरू, किरपा कर अपनायो॥
जनम-जनम की पूँजी पाई, जग में सभी खोवायो।
खरच न खूटै चोर न लूटै, दिन-दिन बढ़त सवायो॥
सत की नाँव खेवटिया सतगुरू, भवसागर तर आयो।
'मीरा' के प्रभु गिरिधर नागर, हरख-हरख जस पायो॥
This is a very famous devotional song written by Meerabai. The song is in Avadhi and has a few touches of Rajasthani. I have never really understood the full import of the song(bhajan) but I love its rendition. Coupled with the knowledge that it expresses love in its purest form, its beautiful tune endears to the heart. You can listen to the song at:
