1O Lord of the Universe, I am such a sinner!

2God gave me body and soul, but I have not practiced loving devotional worship to Him. ||1||Pause||

3Others' wealth, others' bodies, others' wives, others' slander and others' fights - I have not given them up.

4For the sake of these, coming and going in reincarnation happens over and over again, and this story never ends. ||2||

5That house, in which the Saints speak of the Lord - I have not visited it, even for an instant.

6Drunkards, thieves, and evil-doers - I constantly dwell with them. ||3||

7Sexual desire, anger, the wine of Maya, and envy - these are what I collect within myself.

8Compassion, righteousness, and service to the Guru - these do not visit me, even in my dreams. ||4||

9He is merciful to the meek, compassionate and benevolent, the Lover of His devotees, the Destroyer of fear.

10Says Kabeer, please protect Your humble servant from disaster; O Lord, I serve only You. ||5||8||

11Remembering Him in meditation, the door of liberation is found.

12You shall go to heaven, and not return to this earth.

13In the home of the Fearless Lord, the celestial trumpets resound.

14The unstruck sound current will vibrate and resonate forever. ||1||

15Practice such meditative remembrance in your mind.

16Without this meditative remembrance, liberation will never be found. ||1||Pause||

17Remembering Him in meditation, you will meet with no obstruction.

18You will be liberated, and the great load will be taken away.

19Bow in humility within your heart,

20and you will not have to be reincarnated over and over again. ||2||

21Remember Him in meditation, celebrate and be happy.

22God has placed His lamp deep within you, which burns without any oil.

23That lamp makes the world immortal;

24it conquers and drives out the poisons of sexual desire and anger. ||3||

25Remembering Him in meditation, you shall obtain salvation.

26Wear that meditative remembrance as your necklace.

27Practice that meditative remembrance, and never let it go.

28By Guru's Grace, you shall cross over. ||4||

29Remembering Him in meditation, you shall not be obligated to others.

30You shall sleep in your mansion, in blankets of silk.

31Your soul shall blossom forth in happiness, on this comfortable bed.

32So drink in this meditative remembrance, night and day. ||5||

33Remembering Him in meditation, your troubles will depart.

34Remembering Him in meditation, Maya will not bother you.

35Meditate, meditate in remembrance on the Lord, Har, Har, and sing His Praises in your mind.

36This meditative remembrance is obtained from the True Guru. ||6||

37Forever and ever, remember Him, day and night,

38while standing up and sitting down, with every breath and morsel of food.

39While awake and asleep, enjoy the essence of this meditative remembrance.

40The Lord's meditative remembrance is obtained by good destiny. ||7||

41Remembering Him in meditation, you shall not be loaded down.

42Make this meditative remembrance of the Lord's Name your Support.

43Says Kabeer, He has no limits;

44no tantras or mantras can be used against Him. ||8||9||

45Raamkalee, Second House, The Word Of Kabeer Jee:

46One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

47Maya, the Trapper, has sprung her trap.

48The Guru, the Liberated One, has put out the fire.
