Even the mushrooms of summer live longer than you. ||1||Pause||

The deer does not know the secret;

the musk is within its own body, but it searches for it outside.

Whoever reflects on his own body

- the Messenger of Death does not abuse him. ||2||

The man is so proud of his sons and his wife;

his Lord and Master shall call for his account.

The soul suffers in pain for the actions it has committed.

Afterwards, whom shall you call, "Dear, Dear."||3||

If you seek the Support of the Holy,

millions upon millions of your sins shall be totally erased.

Says Ravi Daas, one who chants the Naam, the Name of the Lord,

is not concerned with social class, birth and rebirth. ||4||1||

Basant, Kabeer Jee:

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

You walk like a cow.

The hair on your tail is shiny and lustrous. ||1||

Look around, and eat anything in this house.

But do not go out to any other. ||1||Pause||

You lick the grinding bowl, and eat the flour.

Where have you taken the kitchen rags? ||2||

Your gaze is fixed on the basket in the cupboard.

Watch out - a stick may strike you from behind. ||3||

Says Kabeer, you have over-indulged in your pleasures.

Watch out - someone may throw a brick at you. ||4||1||
