1I have not taken the Lord's Name as my Support. ||1||Pause||

2Says Kabeer, I have searched the skies,

3and have not seen another, equal to the Lord. ||2||34||

4Gauree, Kabeer Jee:

5That head which was once embellished with the finest turban

6- upon that head, the crow now cleans his beak. ||1||

7What pride should we take in this body and wealth?

8Why not hold tight to the Lord's Name instead? ||1||Pause||

9Says Kabeer, listen, O my mind:

10this may be your fate as well! ||2||35||

11Thirty-Five Steps Of Gauree Gwaarayree. ||

12Raag Gauree Gwaarayree, Ashtpadheeyaa Of Kabeer Jee:

13One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

14People beg for pleasure, but pain comes instead.

15I would rather not beg for that pleasure. ||1||

16People are involved in corruption, but still, they hope for pleasure.

17How will they find their home in the Sovereign Lord King? ||1||Pause||

18Even Shiva and Brahma are afraid of this pleasure,

19but I have judged that pleasure to be true. ||2||

20Even sages like Sanak and Naarad, and the thousand-headed serpent,

21did not see the mind within the body. ||3||

22Anyone can search for this mind, O Siblings of Destiny.

23When it escapes from the body, where does the mind go? ||4||

24By Guru's Grace, Jai Dayv and Naam Dayv

25came to know this, through loving devotional worship of the Lord. ||5||

26This mind does not come or go.

27One whose doubt is dispelled, knows the Truth. ||6||

28This mind has no form or outline.

29By God's Command it was created; understanding God's Command, it will be absorbed into Him again. ||7||

30Does anyone know the secret of this mind?

31This mind shall merge into the Lord, the Giver of peace and pleasure. ||8||

32There is One Soul, and it pervades all bodies.

33Kabeer dwells upon this Mind. ||9||1||36||

34Gauree Gwaarayree:

35Those who are awake to the One Name, day and night

36- many of them have become Siddhas - perfect spiritual beings - with their consciousness attuned to the Lord. ||1||Pause||

37The seekers, the Siddhas and the silent sages have all lost the game.

38The One Name is the wish-fulfilling Elysian Tree, which saves them and carries them across. ||1||

39Those who are rejuvenated by the Lord, do not belong to any other.

40Says Kabeer, they realize the Name of the Lord. ||2||37||

41Gauree And Also Sorat'h:

42O shameless being, don't you feel ashamed?

43You have forsaken the Lord - now where will you go? Unto whom will you turn? ||1||Pause||

44One whose Lord and Master is the highest and most exalted

45- it is not proper for him to go to the house of another. ||1||

46That Lord and Master is pervading everywhere.

47The Lord is always with us; He is never far away. ||2||

48Even Maya takes to the Sanctuary of His Lotus Feet.

49Tell me, what is there which is not in His home? ||3||

50Everyone speaks of Him; He is All-powerful.

51He is His Own Master; He is the Giver. ||4||

52Says Kabeer, he alone is perfect in this world,

53in whose heart there is none other than the Lord. ||5||38||
