Youth and old age - my entire life has passed, but I haven't done any good.

856 : 2493
This priceless soul has been treated as if if were worth no more than a shell. ||3||

856 : 2494
Says Kabeer, O my Lord, You are contained in all.

856 : 2495
There is none as merciful as You are, and none as sinful as I am. ||4||3||

856 : 2496
BILAAVAL:

856 : 2497
Every day, he rises early, and brings a fresh clay pot; he passes his life embellishing and glazing it.

856 : 2498
He does not think at all of worldly weaving; he is absorbed in the subtle essence of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||

856 : 2499
Who in our family has ever chanted the Name of the Lord?

856 : 2500
Ever since this worthless son of mine began chanting with his mala, we have had no peace at all! ||1||Pause||

856 : 2501
Listen, O my sisters-in-law, a wondrous thing has happened!

856 : 2502
This boy has ruined our weaving business. Why didn't he simply die? ||2||

856 : 2503
O mother, the One Lord, the Lord and Master, is the source of all peace. The Guru has blessed me with His Name.

856 : 2504
He preserved the honor of Prahlaad, and destroyed Harnaakhash with his nails. ||3||

856 : 2505
I have renounced the gods and ancestors of my house, for the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

856 : 2506
Says Kabeer, God is the Destroyer of all sins; He is the Saving Grace of His Saints. ||4||4||

856 : 2507
BILAAVAL:

856 : 2508
There is no king equal to the Lord.

856 : 2509
All these lords of the world last for only a few days, putting on their false displays. ||1||Pause||

856 : 2510
How can Your humble servant waver? You spread Your shadow over the three worlds.

856 : 2511
Who can raise his hand against Your humble servant? No one can describe the Lord's expanse. ||1||

856 : 2512
Remember Him, O my thoughtless and foolish mind, and the unstruck melody of the sound current will resonate and resound.

856 : 2513
Says Kabeer, my skepticism and doubt have been dispelled; the Lord has exalted me, as He did Dhroo and Prahlaad. ||2||5||

856 : 2514
BILAAVAL:

856 : 2515
Save me! I have disobeyed You.

856 : 2516
I have not practiced humility, righteousness or devotional worship; I am proud and egotistical, and I have taken a crooked path. ||1||Pause||

856 : 2517
Believing this body to be immortal, I pampered it, but it is a fragile and perishable vessel.

856 : 2518
Forgetting the Lord who formed, fashioned and embellished me, I have become attached to another. ||1||

856 : 2519
I am Your thief; I cannot be called holy. I have fallen at Your feet, seeking Your Sanctuary.

856 : 2520
Says Kabeer, please listen to this prayer of mine, O Lord; please do not send me sommons of the Messenger of Death. ||2||6||

856 : 2521
BILAAVAL:

856 : 2522
I stand humbly at Your Court.

856 : 2523
Who else can take care of me, other than You? Please open Your door, and grant me the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||1||Pause||

856 : 2524
You are the richest of the rich, generous and unattached. With my ears, I listen to Your Praises.

856 : 2525
From whom should I beg? I see that all are beggars. My salvation comes only from You. ||1||

856 : 2526
You blessed Jai Dayv, Naam Dayv and Sudaamaa the Brahmin with Your infinite mercy.

856 : 2527
Says Kabeer, You are the All-powerful Lord, the Great Giver; in an instant, You bestow the four great blessings. ||2||7||

856 : 2528
BILAAVAL:

856 : 2529
He has a walking stick, ear-rings, a patched coat and a begging bowl.

856 : 2530
Wearing the robes of a beggar, he wanders around, deluded by doubt. ||1||
