1Your servant is drenched with the rain that has fallen in this storm.

2Says Kabeer, my mind became enlightened, when I saw the sun rise. ||2||43||

3Gauree Chaytee:

4One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

5They do not listen to the Lord's Praises, and they do not sing the Lord's Glories,

6but they try to bring down the sky with their talk. ||1||

7What can anyone say to such people?

8You should always be careful around those whom God has excluded from His devotional worship. ||1||Pause||

9They do not offer even a handful of water,

10while they slander the one who brought forth the Ganges. ||2||

11Sitting down or standing up, their ways are crooked and evil.

12They ruin themselves, and then they ruin others. ||3||

13They know nothing except evil talk.

14They would not even obey Brahma's orders. ||4||

15They themselves are lost, and they mislead others as well.

16They set their own temple on fire, and then they fall asleep within it. ||5||

17They laugh at others, while they themselves are one-eyed.

18Seeing them, Kabeer is embarrassed. ||6||1||44||

19Raag Gauree Bairaagan, Kabeer Jee:

20One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

21He does not honor his ancestors while they are alive, but he holds feasts in their honor after they have died.

22Tell me, how can his poor ancestors receive what the crows and the dogs have eaten up? ||1||

23If only someone would tell me what real happiness is!

24Speaking of happiness and joy, the world is perishing. How can happiness be found? ||1||Pause||

25Making gods and goddesses out of clay, people sacrifice living beings to them.

26Such are your dead ancestors, who cannot ask for what they want. ||2||

27You murder living beings and worship lifeless things; at your very last moment, you shall suffer in terrible pain.

28You do not know the value of the Lord's Name; you shall drown in the terrifying world-ocean. ||3||

29You worship gods and goddesses, but you do not know the Supreme Lord God.

30Says Kabeer, you have not remembered the Lord who has no ancestors; you are clinging to your corrupt ways. ||4||1||45||

31Gauree:

32One who remains dead while yet alive, will live even after death; thus he merges into the Primal Void of the Absolute Lord.

33Remaining pure in the midst of impurity, he will never again fall into the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||

34O my Lord, this is the milk to be churned.

35Through the Guru's Teachings, hold your mind steady and stable, and in this way, drink in the Ambrosial Nectar. ||1||Pause||

36The Guru's arrow has pierced the hard core of this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, and the state of enlightenment has dawned.

37In the darkness of Maya, I mistook the rope for the snake, but that is over, and now I dwell in the eternal home of the Lord. ||2||

38Maya has drawn her bow without an arrow, and has pierced this world, O Siblings of Destiny.
