With four feet, two horns and a mute mouth, how could you sing the Praises of the Lord?

Standing up and sitting down, the stick shall still fall on you, so where will you hide your head? ||1||

Without the Lord, you are like a stray ox;

with your nose torn, and your shoulders injured, you shall have only the straw of coarse grain to eat. ||1||Pause||

All day long, you shall wander in the forest, and even then, your belly will not be full.

You did not follow the advice of the humble devotees, and so you shall obtain the fruits of your actions. ||2||

Enduring pleasure and pain, drowned in the great ocean of doubt, you shall wander in numerous reincarnations.

You have lost the jewel of human birth by forgetting God; when will you have such an opportunity again? ||3||

You turn on the wheel of reincarnation, like an ox at the oil-press; the night of your life passes away without salvation.

Says Kabeer, without the Name of the Lord, you shall pound your head, and regret and repent. ||4||1||

GOOJAREE, THIRD HOUSE:

Kabeer's mother sobs, cries and bewails

- O Lord, how will my grandchildren live? ||1||

Kabeer has given up all his spinning and weaving,

and written the Name of the Lord on his body. ||1||Pause||

As long as I pass the thread through the bobbin,

I forget the Lord, my Beloved. ||2||

My intellect is lowly - I am a weaver by birth,

but I have earned the profit of the Name of the Lord. ||3||

Says Kabeer, listen, O my mother

- the Lord alone is the Provider, for me and my children. ||4||2||

Section 09 - Raag Goojaree - Part 037

Goojaree, Padas Of Naam Dayv Jee, First House:

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

If You gave me an empire, then what glory would be in it for me?

If You made me beg for charity, what would it take away from me? ||1||

Meditate and vibrate upon the Lord, O my mind, and you shall obtain the state of Nirvaanaa.

You shall not have to come and go in reincarnation any longer. ||1||Pause||

You created all, and You lead them astray in doubt.

They alone understand, unto whom You give understanding. ||2||

Meeting the True Guru, doubt is dispelled.

Who else should I worship? I can see no other. ||3||

One stone is lovingly decorated,

while another stone is walked upon.

If one is a god, then the other must also be a god.

Says Naam Dayv, I serve the Lord. ||4||1||

GOOJAREE, FIRST HOUSE:

He does not have even a trace of impurity - He is beyond impurity. He is fragrantly scented - He has come to take His Seat in my mind.

No one saw Him come - who can know Him, O Siblings of Destiny? ||1||

Who can describe Him? Who can understand Him? The all-pervading Lord has no ancestors, O Siblings of Destiny. ||1||Pause||
