1I would cross the oceans, mountains, wilderness, forests and the nine regions of the earth in a single step, O Musan, for the Love of my Beloved. ||3||

2O Musan, the Light of the Lord's Love has spread across the sky;

3I cling to my Lord, like the bumble bee caught in the lotus flower. ||4||

4Chanting and intense meditation, austere self-discipline, pleasure and peace, honor, greatness and pride

5- O Musan, I would dedicate and sacrifice all these for a moment of my Lord's Love. ||5||

6O Musan, the world does not understand the Mystery of the Lord; it is dying and being plundered.

7It is not pierced through by the Love of the Beloved Lord; it is entangled in false pursuits. ||6||

8When someone's home and property are burnt, because of his attachment to them, he suffers in the sorrow of separation.

9O Musan, when mortals forget the Merciful Lord God, then they are truly plundered. ||7||

10Whoever enjoys the taste of the Lord's Love, remembers His Lotus Feet in his mind.

11O Nanak, the lovers of God do not go anywhere else. ||8||

12Climbing thousands of steep hillsides, the fickle mind becomes miserable.

13Look at the humble, lowly mud, O Jamaal: the beautiful lotus grows in it. ||9||

14My Lord has lotus-eyes; His Face is so beautifully adorned.

15O Musan, I am intoxicated with His Mystery. I break the necklace of pride into bits. ||10||

16I am intoxicated with the Love of my Husband Lord; remembering Him in meditation, I am not conscious of my own body.

17He is revealed in all His Glory, all throughout the world. Nanak is a lowly moth at His Flame. ||11||

18Shaloks Of Devotee Kabeer Jee:

19One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

20Kabeer, my rosary is my tongue, upon which the Lord's Name is strung.

21From the very beginning, and throughout the ages, all the devotees abide in tranquil peace. ||1||

22Kabeer, everyone laughs at my social class.

23I am a sacrifice to this social class, in which I chant and meditate on the Creator. ||2||

24Kabeer, why do you stumble? Why does your soul waver?

25He is the Lord of all comforts and peace; drink in the Sublime Essence of the Lord's Name. ||3||

26Kabeer, earrings made of gold and studded with jewels,

27look like burnt twigs, if the Name is not in the mind. ||4||

28Kabeer, rare is such a person, who remains dead while yet alive.

29Singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, he is fearless. Wherever I look, the Lord is there. ||5||

30Kabeer, on the day when I die, afterwards there shall be bliss.

31I shall meet with my Lord God. Those with me shall meditate and vibrate on the Lord of the Universe. ||6||

32Kabeer, I am the worst of all. Everyone else is good.

33Whoever understands this is a friend of mine. ||7||

34Kabeer, she came to me in various forms and disguises.

35My Guru saved me, and now she bows humbly to me. ||8||

36Kabeer, kill only that, which, when killed, shall bring peace.

37Everyone shall call you good, very good, and no one shall think you are bad. ||9||

38Kabeer, the night is dark, and men go about doing their dark deeds.
