692 : 1248
Day by day, hour by hour, life runs its course, and the body withers away.

692 : 1249
Death, like a hunter, a butcher, is on the prowl; tell me, what can we do? ||1||

692 : 1250
That day is rapidly approaching.

692 : 1251
Mother, father, siblings, children and spouse - tell me, who belongs to whom? ||1||Pause||

692 : 1252
As long as the light remains in the body, the beast does not understand himself.

692 : 1253
He acts in greed to maintain his life and status, and sees nothing with his eyes. ||2||

692 : 1254
Says Kabeer, listen, O mortal: Renounce the doubts of your mind.

692 : 1255
Chant only the One Naam, the Name of the Lord, O mortal, and seek the Sanctuary of the One Lord. ||3||2||

692 : 1256
That humble being, who knows even a little about loving devotional worship - what surprises are there for him?

692 : 1257
Like water, dripping into water, which cannot be separated out again, so is the weaver Kabeer, with softened heart, merged into the Lord. ||1||

692 : 1258
O people of the Lord, I am just a simple-minded fool.

692 : 1259
If Kabeer were to leave his body at Benares, and so liberate himself, what obligation would he have to the Lord? ||1||Pause||

692 : 1260
Says Kabeer, listen, O people - do not be deluded by doubt.

692 : 1261
What is the difference between Benares and the barren land of Maghar, if the Lord is within one's heart? ||2||3||

692 : 1262
Mortals may go to the Realm of Indra, or the Realm of Shiva,

692 : 1263
but because of their hypocrisy and false prayers, they must leave again. ||1||

692 : 1264
What should I ask for? Nothing lasts forever.

692 : 1265
Enshrine the Lord's Name within your mind. ||1||Pause||

692 : 1266
Fame and glory, power, wealth and glorious greatness

692 : 1267
- none of these will go with you or help you in the end. ||2||

Continued...

692 : 1268
Children, spouse, wealth and Maya

692 : 1269
- who has ever obtained peace from these? ||3||

692 : 1270
Says Kabeer, nothing else is of any use.

692 : 1271
Within my mind is the wealth of the Lord's Name. ||4||4||

692 : 1272
Remember the Lord, remember the Lord, remember the Lord in meditation, O Siblings of Destiny.

692 : 1273
Without remembering the Lord's Name in meditation, a great many are drowned. ||1||Pause||

692 : 1274
Your spouse, children, body, house and possessions - you think these will give you peace.

692 : 1275
But none of these shall be yours, when the time of death comes. ||1||

692 : 1276
Ajaamal, the elephant, and the prostitute committed many sins,

692 : 1277
but still, they crossed over the world-ocean, by chanting the Lord's Name. ||2||

692 : 1278
You have wandered in reincarnation, as pigs and dogs - did you feel no shame?

692 : 1279
Forsaking the Ambrosial Name of the Lord, why do you eat poison? ||3||

692 : 1280
Abandon your doubts about do's and dont's, and take to the Lord's Name.

692 : 1281
By Guru's Grace, O servant Kabeer, love the Lord. ||4||5||

692 : 1282
Dhanaasaree, The Word Of Devotee Naam Dayv Jee:

692 : 1283
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

692 : 1284
They dig deep foundations, and build lofty palaces.

692 : 1285
Can anyone live longer than Markanda, who passed his days with only a handful of straw upon his head? ||1||

692 : 1286
The Creator Lord is our only friend.

692 : 1287
O man, why are you so proud? This body is only temporary - it shall pass away. ||1||Pause||
