27Bhairao, The Word Of Naam Dayv Jee, First House:

28One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

29O my tongue, I will cut you into a hundred pieces,

30if you do not chant the Name of the Lord. ||1||

31O my tongue, be imbued with the Lord's Name.

32Meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, and imbue yourself with this most excellent color. ||1||Pause||

33O my tongue, other occupations are false.

34The state of Nirvaanaa comes only through the Lord's Name. ||2||

35The performance of countless millions of other devotions

36is not equal to even one devotion to the Name of the Lord. ||3||

37Prays Naam Dayv, this is my occupation.

38O Lord, Your Forms are endless. ||4||1||

39One who stays away from others' wealth and others' spouses

40- the Lord abides near that person. ||1||

41Those who do not meditate and vibrate on the Lord

42- I do not even want to see them. ||1||Pause||

43Those whose inner beings are not in harmony with the Lord,

44are nothing more than beasts. ||2||

45Prays Naam Dayv, a man without a nose

46does not look handsome, even if he has the thirty-two beauty marks. ||3||2||

47Naam Dayv milked the brown cow, and brought a cup of milk and a jug of water to his family god. ||1||

48"Please drink this milk, O my Sovereign Lord God.

49Drink this milk and my mind will be happy.

50Otherwise, my father will be angry with me.""||1||Pause||

51Taking the golden cup, Naam Dayv filled it with the ambrosial milk,

52and placed it before the Lord. ||2||

53The Lord looked upon Naam Dayv and smiled. ""This one devotee abides within my heart.""||3||

54The Lord drank the milk, and the devotee returned home.
