1With the army of God's devotees, and Shakti, the power of meditation, I have snapped the noose of the fear of death.

2Slave Kabeer has climbed to the top of the fortress; I have obtained the eternal, imperishable domain. ||6||9||17||

3The mother Ganges is deep and profound.

4Tied up in chains, they took Kabeer there. ||1||

5My mind was not shaken; why should my body be afraid?

6My consciousness remained immersed in the Lotus Feet of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

7The waves of the Ganges broke the chains,

8and Kabeer was seated on a deer skin. ||2||

9Says Kabeer, I have no friend or companion.

10On the water, and on the land, the Lord is my Protector. ||3||10||18||

11Bhairao, Kabeer Jee, Ashtpadheeyaa, Second House:

12One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

13God constructed a fortress, inaccessible and unreachable, in which He dwells.

14There, His Divine Light radiates forth.

15Lightning blazes, and bliss prevails there,

16where the Eternally Young Lord God abides. ||1||

17This soul is lovingly attuned to the Lord's Name.

18It is saved from old age and death, and its doubt runs away. ||1||Pause||

19Those who believe in high and low social classes,

20only sing songs and chants of egotism.

21The Unstruck Sound-current of the Shabad, the Word of God, resounds in that place,

22where the Supreme Lord God abides. ||2||

23He creates planets, solar systems and galaxies;

24He destroys the three worlds, the three gods and the three qualities.

25The Inaccessible and Unfathomable Lord God dwells in the heart.

26No one can find the limits or the secrets of the Lord of the World. ||3||

27The Lord shines forth in the plantain flower and the sunshine.

28He dwells in the pollen of the lotus flower.

29The Lord's secret is within the twelve petals of the heart-lotus.

30The Supreme Lord, the Lord of Lakshmi dwells there. ||4||

31He is like the sky, stretching across the lower, upper and middle realms.

32In the profoundly silent celestial realm, He radiates forth.

33Neither the sun nor the moon are there,

34but the Primal Immaculate Lord celebrates there. ||5||

35Know that He is in the universe, and in the body as well.

36Take your cleansing bath in the Mansarovar Lake.

37Chant ""Sohang"" - ""He is me.""

38He is not affected by either virtue or vice. ||6||

39He is not affected by either high or low social class, sunshine or shade.

40He is in the Guru's Sanctuary, and nowhere else.

41He is not diverted by diversions, comings or goings.

42Remain intuitively absorbed in the celestial void. ||7||

43One who knows the Lord in the mind

44whatever he says, comes to pass.

45One who firmly implants the Lord's Divine Light, and His Mantra within the mind

46- says Kabeer, such a mortal crosses over to the other side. ||8||1||

47Millions of suns shine for Him,

48millions of Shivas and Kailash mountains.

49Millions of Durga goddesses massage His Feet.

50Millions of Brahmas chant the Vedas for Him. ||1||

51When I beg, I beg only from the Lord.

52I have nothing to do with any other deities. ||1||Pause||

53Millions of moons twinkle in the sky.
