1Your worldly affairs exist only as long as you are alive; know this well.

2O Nanak, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord; everything is like a dream. ||2||2||

3Tilang, Ninth Mehla:

4Sing the Lord's Praises, O mind; He is your only true companion.

5Your time is passing away; listen carefully to what I say. ||1||Pause||

6You are so in love with property, chariots, wealth and power.

7When the noose of death tightens around your neck, they will all belong to others. ||1||

8Know this well, O madman - you have ruined your affairs.

9You did not restrain yourself from committing sins, and you did not eradicate your ego. ||2||

10So listen to the Teachings imparted by the Guru, O Siblings of Destiny.

11Nanak proclaims: hold tight to the Protection and the Sanctuary of God. ||3||3||

12Tilang, The Word Of Devotee Kabeer Jee:

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

14The Vedas and the Scriptures are only make-believe, O Siblings of Destiny; they do not relieve the anxiety of the heart.

15If you will only center yourself on the Lord, even for just a breath, then you shall see the Lord face-to-face, present before you. ||1||

16O human being, search your own heart every day, and do not wander around in confusion.

17This world is just a magic-show; no one will be holding your hand. ||1||Pause||

18Reading and studying falsehood, people are happy; in their ignorance, they speak nonsense.

19The True Creator Lord is diffused into His creation; He is not just the dark-skinned Krishna of legends. ||2||

20Through the Tenth Gate, the stream of nectar flows; take your bath in this.

21Serve the Lord forever; use your eyes, and see Him ever-present everywhere. ||3||

22The Lord is the purest of the pure; only through doubt could there be another.

23O Kabeer, mercy flows from the Merciful Lord; He alone knows who acts. ||4||1||

24Naam Dayv Jee:

25I am blind; Your Name, O Creator Lord, is my only anchor and support.

26I am poor, and I am meek. Your Name is my only support. ||1||Pause||

27O beautiful Lord, benevolent and merciful Lord, You are so wealthy and generous.

28You are ever-present in every presence, within and before me. ||1||

29You are the river of life, You are the Giver of all; You are so very wealthy.

30You alone give, and You alone take away; there is no other at all. ||2||

31You are wise, You are the supreme seer; how could I make You an object of thought?

32O Lord and Master of Naam Dayv, You are the merciful Lord of forgiveness. ||3||1||2||

33Hello, my friend, hello my friend. Is there any good news?

34I am a sacrifice, a devoted sacrifice, a dedicated and devoted sacrifice, to You.

35Slavery to You is so sublime; Your Name is noble and exalted. ||1||Pause||

36Where did you come from? Where have You been? And where are You going?

37Tell me the truth, in the holy city of Dwaarikaa. ||1||

38How handsome is your turban! And how sweet is your speech.

39Why are there Moghals in the holy city of Dwaarikaa? ||2||

40You alone are the Lord of so many thousands of worlds.

41You are my Lord King, like the dark-skinned Krishna. ||3||

42You are the Lord of the sun, Lord Indra and Lord Brahma, the King of men.

43You are the Lord and Master of Naam Dayv, the King, the Liberator of all. ||4||2||3||
