1Your humble servant is not engrossed in them. ||2||

2Your humble servant is tied by the rope of Your Love.

3Says Ravi Daas, what benefit would I get by escaping from it? ||3||4||

4Aasaa:

5The Lord, Har, Har, Har, Har, Har, Har, Haray.

6Meditating on the Lord, the humble are carried across to salvation. ||1||Pause||

7Through the Lord's Name, Kabeer became famous and respected.

8The accounts of his past incarnations were torn up. ||1||

9Because of Naam Dayv's devotion, the Lord drank the milk he offered.

10He shall not have to suffer the pains of reincarnation into the world again. ||2||

11Servant Ravi Daas is imbued with the Lord's Love.

12By Guru's Grace, he shall not have to go to hell. ||3||5||

13How does the puppet of clay dance?

14He looks and listens, hears and speaks, and runs around. ||1||Pause||

15When he acquires something, he is inflated with ego.

16But when his wealth is gone, then he cries and bewails. ||1||

17In thought, word and deed, he is attached to the sweet and tangy flavors.

18When he dies, no one knows where he has gone. ||2||

19Says Ravi Daas, the world is just a dramatic play, O Siblings of Destiny.

20I have enshrined love for the Lord, the star of the show. ||3||6||

21Aasaa, The Word Of Devotee Dhanna Jee:

22One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

23I wandered through countless incarnations, but mind, body and wealth never remain stable.

24Attached to, and stained by the poisons of sexual desire and greed, the mind has forgotten the jewel of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

25The poisonous fruit seems sweet to the demented mind, which does not know the difference between good and evil.

26Turning away from virtue, his love for other things increases, and he weaves again the web of birth and death. ||1||

27He does not know the way to the Lord, who dwells within his heart; burning in the trap, he is caught by the noose of death.

28Gathering the poisonous fruits, he fills his mind with them, and he forgets God, the Supreme Being, from his mind. ||2||

29The Guru has given the wealth of spiritual wisdom; practicing meditation, the mind becomes one with Him.

30Embracing loving devotional worship for the Lord, I have come to know peace; satisfied and satiated, I have been liberated. ||3||

31One who is filled with the Divine Light, recognizes the undeceivable Lord God.

32Dhanna has obtained the Lord, the Sustainer of the World, as his wealth; meeting the humble Saints, he merges in the Lord. ||4||1||

33Fifth Mehla:

34Naam Dayv's mind was absorbed into God, Gobind, Gobind, Gobind.

35The calico-printer, worth half a shell, became worth millions. ||1||Pause||

36Abandoning weaving and stretching thread, Kabeer enshrined love for the Lord's lotus feet.

37A weaver from a lowly family, he became an ocean of excellence. ||1||

38Ravi Daas, who used to carry dead cows every day, renounced the world of Maya.

39He became famous in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and obtained the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan. ||2||

40Sain, the barber, the village drudge, became famous in each and every house.

41The Supreme Lord God dwelled in his heart, and he was counted among the devotees. ||3||
