but the Water of the Lord's Name saves His humble servants from burning. ||2||

In the terrifying world-ocean, there is an ocean of peace.

I continue to drink it in, but this Water is never exhausted. ||3||

Says Kabeer, meditate and vibrate upon the Lord, like the rainbird remembering the water.

The Water of the Lord's Name has quenched my thirst. ||4||1||

Gauree, Kabeer Jee:

O Lord, my thirst for the Water of Your Name will not go away.

The fire of my thirst burns even more brightly in that Water. ||1||Pause||

You are the Ocean of Water, and I am just a fish in that Water.

In that Water, I remain; without that Water, I would perish. ||1||

You are the cage, and I am Your parrot.

So what can the cat of death do to me? ||2||

You are the tree, and I am the bird.

I am so unfortunate - I cannot see the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan! ||3||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 174

You are the True Guru, and I am Your new disciple.

Says Kabeer, O Lord, please meet me - this is my very last chance! ||4||2||

Gauree, Kabeer Jee:

When I realize that there is One, and only One Lord,

why then should the people be upset? ||1||

I am dishonored; I have lost my honor.

No one should follow in my footsteps. ||1||Pause||

I am bad, and bad in my mind as well.

I have no partnership with anyone. ||2||

I have no shame about honor or dishonor.

But you shall know, when your own false covering is laid bare. ||3||

Says Kabeer, honor is that which is accepted by the Lord.

Give up everything - meditate, vibrate upon the Lord alone. ||4||3||

Gauree, Kabeer Jee:

If Yoga could be obtained by wandering around naked,

then all the deer of the forest would be liberated. ||1||

What does it matter whether someone goes naked, or wears a deer skin,

if he does not remember the Lord within his soul? ||1||Pause||

If the spiritual perfection of the Siddhas could be obtained by shaving the head,

then why haven't sheep found liberation? ||2||

If someone could save himself by celibacy, O Siblings of Destiny,

why then haven't eunuchs obtained the state of supreme dignity? ||3||

Says Kabeer, listen, O men, O Siblings of Destiny:

without the Lord's Name, who has ever found salvation? ||4||4||

Gauree, Kabeer Jee:

Those who take their ritual baths in the evening and the morning

are like the frogs in the water. ||1||

When people do not love the Lord's Name,

they must all go to the Righteous Judge of Dharma. ||1||Pause||

Those who love their bodies and try different looks,

do not feel compassion, even in dreams. ||2||

The wise men call them four-footed creatures;

the Holy find peace in this ocean of pain. ||3||
