1You have misled the world so deeply in doubt.

2How can people understand You, when they are entranced by Maya? ||1||Pause||

3Says Kabeer, give up the pleasures of corruption, or else you will surely die of them.

4Meditate on the Lord, O mortal being, through the Word of His Bani; you shall be blessed with eternal life. In this way, shall you cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||2||

5As it pleases Him, people embrace love for the Lord,

6and doubt and delusion are dispelled from within.

7Intuitive peace and poise well up within, and the intellect is awakened to spiritual wisdom.

8By Guru's Grace, the inner being is touched by the Lord's Love. ||3||

9In this association, there is no death.

10Recognizing the Hukam of His Command, you shall meet with your Lord and Master. ||1||Second Pause||

11Siree Raag, Trilochan:

12The mind is totally attached to Maya; the mortal has forgotten his fear of old age and death.

13Gazing upon his family, he blossoms forth like the lotus flower; the deceitful person watches and covets the homes of others. ||1||

14When the powerful Messenger of Death comes, no one can stand against his awesome power.

15Rare, very rare, is that friend who comes and says,

16"O my Beloved, take me into Your Embrace! O my Lord, please save me!"||1||Pause||

17Indulging in all sorts of princely pleasures, O mortal, you have forgotten God; you have fallen into the world-ocean, and you think that you have become immortal.

18Cheated and plundered by Maya, you do not think of God, and you waste your life in laziness. ||2||

19The path you must walk is treacherous and terrifying, O mortal; neither the sun nor the moon shine there.

20Your emotional attachment to Maya will be forgotten, when you have to leave this world. ||3||

21Today, it became clear to my mind that the Righteous Judge of Dharma is watching us.

22His messengers, with their awesome power, crush people between their hands; I cannot stand against them. ||4||

23If someone is going to teach me something, let it be that the Lord is pervading the forests and fields.

24O Dear Lord, You Yourself know everything; so prays Trilochan, Lord. ||5||2||

25Siree Raag, Devotee Kabeer Jee:

26Listen, O religious scholar: the One Lord alone is Wondrous; no one can describe Him.

27He fascinates the angels, the celestial singers and the heavenly musicians; he has strung the three worlds upon His Thread. ||1||

28The Unstruck Melody of the Sovereign Lord's Harp vibrates;

29by His Glance of Grace, we are lovingly attuned to the Sound-current of the Naad. ||1||Pause||

30The Tenth Gate of my crown chakra is the distilling fire, and the channels of the Ida and Pingala are the funnels, to pour in and empty out the golden vat.

31Into that vat, there trickles a gentle stream of the most sublime and pure essence of all distilled essences. ||2||

32Something wonderful has happened-the breath has become the cup.

33In all the three worlds, such a Yogi is unique. What king can compare to him? ||3||

34This spiritual wisdom of God, the Supreme Soul, has illuminated my being. Says Kabeer, I am attuned to His Love.

35All the rest of the world is deluded by doubt, while my mind is intoxicated with the Sublime Essence of the Lord. ||4||3||
