1Who has established himself as a Siddha, a being of miraculous spiritual powers, by killing his mind? ||1||

2Who is that silent sage, who has killed his mind?

3By killing the mind, tell me, who is saved? ||1||Pause||

4Everyone speaks through the mind.

5Without killing the mind, devotional worship is not performed. ||2||

6Says Kabeer, one who knows the secret of this mystery,

7beholds within his own mind the Lord of the three worlds. ||3||28||

8Gauree, Kabeer Jee:

9The stars which are seen in the sky

10- who is the painter who painted them? ||1||

11Tell me, O Pandit, what is the sky attached to?

12Very fortunate is the knower who knows this. ||1||Pause||

13The sun and the moon give their light;

14God's creative extension extends everywhere. ||2||

15Says Kabeer, he alone knows this,

16whose heart is filled with the Lord, and whose mouth is also filled with the Lord. ||3||29||

17Gauree, Kabeer Jee:

18The Simritee is the daughter of the Vedas, O Siblings of Destiny.

19She has brought a chain and a rope. ||1||

20She has imprisoned the people in her own city.

21She has tightened the noose of emotional attachment and shot the arrow of death. ||1||Pause||

22By cutting, she cannot be cut, and she cannot be broken.

23She has become a serpent, and she is eating the world. ||2||

24Before my very eyes, she has plundered the entire world.

25Says Kabeer, chanting the Lord's Name, I have escaped her. ||3||30||

26Gauree, Kabeer Jee:

27I have grasped the reins and attached the bridle;

28abandoning everything, I now ride through the skies. ||1||

29I made self-reflection my mount,

30and in the stirrups of intuitive poise, I placed my feet. ||1||Pause||

31Come, and let me ride you to heaven.

32If you hold back, then I shall strike you with the whip of spiritual love. ||2||

33Says Kabeer, those who remain detached from the Vedas, the Koran and the Bible are the best riders. ||3||31||

34Gauree, Kabeer Jee:

35That mouth, which used to eat the five delicacies

36- I have seen the flames being applied to that mouth. ||1||

37O Lord, my King, please rid me of this one affliction:

38may I not be burned in fire, or cast into the womb again. ||1||Pause||

39The body is destroyed by so many ways and means.

40Some burn it, and some bury it in the earth. ||2||

41Says Kabeer, O Lord, please reveal to me Your Lotus Feet;

42after that, go ahead and send me to my death. ||3||32||

43Gauree, Kabeer Jee:

44He Himself is the fire, and He Himself is the wind.

45When our Lord and Master wishes to burn someone, then who can save him? ||1||

46When I chant the Lord's Name, what does it matter if my body burns?

47My consciousness remains absorbed in the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause||

48Who is burned, and who suffers loss?

49The Lord plays, like the juggler with his ball. ||2||

50Says Kabeer, chant the two letters of the Lord's Name - Raa Maa.

51If He is your Lord and Master, He will protect you. ||3||33||

52Gauree, Kabeer Jee, Dho-Padhay:

53I have not practiced Yoga, or focused my consciousness on meditation.

54Without renunciation, I cannot escape Maya. ||1||

55How have I passed my life?
