969 : 4221
Cut up desire, sexuality, anger, pride and envy, and let them be the fermenting bark. ||1||

969 : 4222
Is there any Saint, with intuitive peace and poise deep within, unto whom I might offer my meditation and austerities as payment?

969 : 4223
I dedicate my body and mind to whoever gives me even a drop of this wine from such a vat. ||1||Pause||

969 : 4224
I have made the fourteen worlds the furnace, and I have burnt my body with the fire of God.

969 : 4225
My mudra - my hand-gesture, is the pipe; tuning into the celestial sound current within, the Shushmanaa - the central spinal channel, is my cooling pad. ||2||

969 : 4226
Pilgrimages, fasting, vows, purifications, self-discipline, austerities and breath control through the sun and moon channels - all these I pledge.

969 : 4227
My focused consciousness is the cup, and the Ambrosial Nectar is the pure juice. I drink in the supreme, sublime essence of this juice. ||3||

969 : 4228
The pure stream constantly trickles forth, and my mind is intoxicated by this sublime essence.

969 : 4229
Says Kabeer, all other wines are trivial and tasteless; this is the only true, sublime essence. ||4||1||

969 : 4230
Make spiritual wisdom the molasses, meditation the flowers, and the Fear of God the fire enshrined in your mind.

969 : 4231
The Shushmanaa, the central spinal channel, is intuitively balanced, and the drinker drinks in this wine. ||1||

969 : 4232
O hermit Yogi, my mind is intoxicated.

969 : 4233
When that wine rises up, one tastes the sublime essence of this juice, and sees across the three worlds. ||1||Pause||

969 : 4234
Joining the two channels of the breath, I have lit the furnace, and I drink in the supreme, sublime essence.

969 : 4235
I have burnt both sexual desire and anger, and I have been emancipated from the world. ||2||

969 : 4236
The light of spiritual wisdom enlightens me; meeting with the Guru, the True Guru, I have obtained this understanding.

969 : 4237
Slave Kabeer is intoxicated with that wine, which never wears off. ||3||2||

969 : 4238
You are my Sumayr Mountain, O my Lord and Master; I have grasped Your Support.

Continued...

969 : 4239
You do not shake, and I do not fall. You have preserved my honor. ||1||

969 : 4240
Now and then, here and there, You, only You.

969 : 4241
By Your Grace, I am forever in peace. ||1||Pause||

969 : 4242
Relying upon You, I can live even in the cursed place of Magahar; You have put out the fire of my body.

969 : 4243
First, I obtained the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan in Magahar; then, I came to dwell at Benares. ||2||

969 : 4244
As is Magahar, so is Benares; I see them as one and the same.

969 : 4245
I am poor, but I have obtained this wealth of the Lord; the proud are bursting with pride, and die. ||3||

969 : 4246
One who takes pride in himself is stuck with thorns; no one can pull them out.

969 : 4247
Here, he cries bitterly, and hereafter, he burns in the most hideous hell. ||4||

969 : 4248
What is hell, and what is heaven? The Saints reject them both.

969 : 4249
I have no obligation to either of them, by the Grace of my Guru. ||5||

969 : 4250
Now, I have mounted to the throne of the Lord; I have met the Lord, the Sustainer of the World.

969 : 4251
The Lord and Kabeer have become one. No one can tell them apart. ||6||3||

969 : 4252
I honor and obey the Saints, and punish the wicked; this is my duty as God's police officer.

969 : 4253
Day and night, I wash Your feet, Lord; I wave my hair as the chauree, to brush away the flies. ||1||

969 : 4254
I am a dog at Your Court, Lord.

969 : 4255
I open my snout and bark before it. ||1||Pause||
