Namdev, the 13th century saint, devotee of Lord Vithal, laments, complains and scolds Vithala the protector of devotees for failing to assist him in times of his need.
"Aren't you ashamed", asks Namdev to his buddy "Pandurang". He takes the liberty to scold the Lord and demands a reply from his pal. "Why should I be ashamed of saying this? You the protector Narayana has repaid the debt of many devotees, then what happened, why didn't you come to my rescue? Aren't you ashamed?," asks Nama.
A devotee's surrender and devotion to the Lord, who is guardian, master, friend, closest, nearest, dearest, is so intense that the Lord is indebted to the devotee and is obliged to take care of him, to protect him.
Saint Namdeo Devotional Song
Saint Namdev chides the Lord and demands a reply, "Aren't you ashamed?You didn't come to my rescue on several occasions.
What happened to you? Tell me, says Nama (nickname of Saint Namdeo)"
"Oh! buddy (Sakhya) Pandhari's (Pandhari nivasa) Panduranga,
(Pandurang resident of Pandharpur) you are always close to your devotee. (like a bodyguard)"
"You are Narayana (hosi Narayana =Another name of the same God) protector of devotees (Bhakt kavariya)."
"Why should I be ashamed (kay laaj) to tell you (bolata vacchan)?"
"Oh! Pandhari's buddy Panduranga"
"In the past (Mage) you repaid (phediyale) the debt (Rrun) of so many (bahutanchey) devotees (bhaktanchey)"
Magge bahutanchey phediyle rrun
Repeatedly you didn't come to my rescue,
Lord aren't you ashamed of yourself .

Pandhari niwasaa sakhya Panduranga
Kari aang sanga bhaktachiya
Bhakt kaiwariya hosi Narayana
Bolata vachan kay laaj
Maage bahutanche phediyale rrun
aamhasaathi kon aali dhaad
varanvaar tuj laaj nahi dewa
Bol re keshava mhane Nama
संत नामदेव अभंग
पंढरी निवासा सख्या पांडुरंगा
करी अंग संगा, भक्ताचिया
भक्त कैवारिया होसी नारायणा
बोलत वचन काय लाज
मागे बहुतांचे फ़ेडियले ऋण
आम्हासाठी कोण आली धाड
वारंवार तुज लाज नाही देवा
बोल रे केशवा म्हणे नामा
पंढरी निवासा सख्या पांडुरंगा
करी अंग संगा, भक्ताचिया
पंडित भीमसेन जोशी

Please give the meaning of last lines..... Thanks
You have helped other devotees, Prahlad, Dhruv, and so on. You,however, didn't come to my rescue during my bad times. You are Narayan, a devotees, bodyguard. What happened to you? You didn't live up to your name.
Just as someone who has been through bad times chides his bosom friend, do too, Namdev scolds his best friend for failing to turn up in dire situations.
