Gazing upon your children and your property, your mind is proud and arrogant; you cast out the Lord from your heart.

When others die, you measure your own wealth in your mind; you waste your life in the pleasures of the mouth and sexual organs. ||3||

Your hair is whiter than the jasmine flower, and your voice has grown feeble, as if it comes from the seventh underworld.

Your eyes water, and your intellect and strength have left you; but still, your sexual desire churns and drives you on.

And so, your intellect has dried up through corruption, and the lotus flower of your body has wilted and withered.

You have forsaken the Bani, the Word of the Immortal Lord, in this mortal world; in the end, you shall regret and repent. ||4||

Gazing upon the tiny bodies of your children, love has welled up within your heart; you are proud of them, but you do not understand.

You long for the dignity of a long life, but your eyes can no longer see anything.

Your light has gone out, and the bird of your mind has flown away; you are no longer welcome in your own home and courtyard.

Says Baynee, listen, O devotee: who has ever attained liberation after such a death? ||5||

Sree Raag:

You are me, and I am You-what is the difference between us?

We are like gold and the bracelet, or water and the waves. ||1||

If I did not commit any sins, O Infinite Lord,

how would You have acquired the name, 'Redeemer of sinners'? ||1||Pause||

You are my Master, the Inner-knower, Searcher of hearts.

The servant is known by his God, and the Lord and Master is known by His servant. ||2||

Grant me the wisdom to worship and adore You with my body.

O Ravi Daas, one who understands that the Lord is equally in all, is very rare. ||3||
