1Thus did Naam Dayv come to receive the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan. ||4||3||

2I am crazy - the Lord is my Husband.

3I decorate and adorn myself for Him. ||1||

4Slander me well, slander me well, slander me well, O people.

5My body and mind are united with my Beloved Lord. ||1||Pause||

6Do not engage in any arguments or debates with anyone.

7With your tongue, savor the Lord's sublime essence. ||2||

8Now, I know within my soul, that such an arrangement has been made;

9I will meet with my Lord by the beat of the drum. ||3||

10Anyone can praise or slander me.

11Naam Dayv has met the Lord. ||4||4||

12Sometimes, people do not appreciate milk, sugar and ghee.

13Sometimes, they have to beg for bread from door to door.

14Sometimes, they have to pick out the grain from the chaff. ||1||

15As the Lord keeps us, so do we live, O Siblings of Destiny.

16The Lord's Glory cannot even be described. ||1||Pause||

17Sometimes, people prance around on horses.

18Sometimes, they do not even have shoes for their feet. ||2||

19Sometimes, people sleep on cozy beds with white sheets.

20Sometimes, they do not even have straw to put down on the ground. ||3||

21Naam Dayv prays, only the Naam, the Name of the Lord, can save us.

22One who meets the Guru, is carried across to the other side. ||4||5||

23Laughing and playing, I came to Your Temple, O Lord.

24While Naam Dayv was worshipping, he was grabbed and driven out. ||1||

25I am of a low social class, O Lord;

26why was I born into a family of fabric dyers? ||1||Pause||

27I picked up my blanket and went back,

28to sit behind the temple. ||2||

29As Naam Dayv uttered the Glorious Praises of the Lord,

30the temple turned around to face the Lord's humble devotee. ||3||6||

31Bhairao, Naam Dayv Jee, Second House:

32One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

33As the hungry person loves food,

34and the thirsty person is obsessed with water,

35and as the fool is attached to his family

36- just so, the Lord is very dear to Naam Dayv. ||1||

37Naam Dayv is in love with the Lord.

38He has naturally and intuitively become detached from the world. ||1||Pause||

39Like the woman who falls in love with another man,

40and the greedy man who loves only wealth,

41and the sexually promiscuous man who loves women and sex,

42just so, Naam Dayv is in love with the Lord. ||2||

43But that alone is real love, which the Lord Himself inspires;

44by Guru's Grace, duality is eradicated.

45Such love never breaks; through it, the mortal remains merged in the Lord.

46Naam Dayv has focused his consciousness on the True Name. ||3||

47Like the love between the child and its mother,

48so is my mind imbued with the Lord.

49Prays Naam Dayv, I am in love with the Lord.

50The Lord of the Universe abides within my consciousness. ||4||1||7||

51The blind fool abandons the wife of his own home,
