1Says Kabeer, whoever is absorbed in the Naam remains lovingly absorbed in the Primal, Absolute Lord. ||4||4||

2If You keep me far away from You, then tell me, what is liberation?

3The One has many forms, and is contained within all; how can I be fooled now? ||1||

4O Lord, where will You take me, to save me?

5Tell me where, and what sort of liberation shall You give me? By Your Grace, I have already obtained it. ||1||Pause||

6People talk of salvation and being saved, as long as they do not understand the essence of reality.

7I have now become pure within my heart, says Kabeer, and my mind is pleased and appeased. ||2||5||

8Raawan made castles and fortresses of gold, but he had to abandon them when he left. ||1||

9Why do you act only to please your mind?

10When Death comes and grabs you by the hair, then only the Name of the Lord will save you. ||1||Pause||

11Death, and deathlessness are the creations of our Lord and Master; this show, this expanse, is only an entanglement.

12Says Kabeer, those who have the sublime essence of the Lord in their hearts - in the end, they are liberated. ||2||6||

13The body is a village, and the soul is the owner and farmer; the five farm-hands live there.

14The eyes, nose, ears, tongue and sensory organs of touch do not obey any order. ||1||

15O father, now I shall not live in this village.

16The accountants summoned Chitar and Gupat, the recording scribes of the conscious and the unconscious, to ask for an account of each and every moment. ||1||Pause||

17When the Righteous Judge of Dharma calls for my account, there shall be a very heavy balance against me.

18The five farm-hands shall then run away, and the bailiff shall arrest the soul. ||2||

19Says Kabeer, listen, O Saints: settle your accounts in this farm.

20O Lord, please forgive Your slave now, in this life, so that he may not have to return again to this terrifying world-ocean. ||3||7||

21Raag Maaroo, The Word Of Kabeer Jee:

22One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

23No one has seen the Fearless Lord, O renunciate.

24Without the Fear of God, how can the Fearless Lord be obtained? ||1||

25If one sees the Presence of his Husband Lord near at hand, then he feels the Fear of God, O renunciate.

26If he realizes the Hukam of the Lord's Command, then he becomes fearless. ||2||

27Don't practice hypocrisy with the Lord, O renunciate!

28The whole world is filled with hypocrisy. ||3||

29Thirst and desire do not just go away, O renunciate.

30The body is burning in the fire of worldly love and attachment. ||4||

31Anxiety is burned, and the body is burned, O renunciate,

32only if one lets his mind become dead. ||5||

33Without the True Guru, there can be no renunciation,

34even though all the people may wish for it. ||6||

35When God grants His Grace, one meets the True Guru, O renunciate,

36and automatically, intuitively finds that Lord. ||7||

37Says Kabeer, I offer this one prayer, O renunciate.

38Carry me across the terrifying world-ocean. ||8||1||8||
