The Sovereign Lord is the nine treasures for me.

1158 : 1591
The possessions and the spouse to which the mortal is lovingly attached, are Your wealth, O Lord. ||1||Pause||

1158 : 1592
They do not come with the mortal, and they do not go with him.

1158 : 1593
What good does it do him, if he has elephants tied up at his doorway? ||2||

1158 : 1594
The fortress of Sri Lanka was made out of gold,

1158 : 1595

1158 : 1610
Says Kabeer, those humble beings are approved and pure, who know the Lord. ||6||3||

1158 : 1611
Let your mind be Mecca, and your body the temple of worship.

1158 : 1612
Let the Supreme Guru be the One who speaks. ||1||

1158 : 1613
O Mullah, utter the call to prayer.

1158 : 1614
The one mosque has ten doors. ||1||Pause||

1158 : 1615
So slaughter your evil nature, doubt and cruelty;

1158 : 1616
consume the five demons and you shall be blessed with contentment. ||2||

Hindus and Muslims have the same One Lord and Master.

1158 : 1618

1158 : 1619
Says Kabeer, I have gone insane.

1158 : 1620
Slaughtering, slaughtering my mind, I have merged into the Celestial Lord. ||4||4||

1158 : 1621
When the stream flows into the Ganges, then it becomes the Ganges. ||1||

1158 : 1622
Just so, Kabeer has changed.

1158 : 1623
He has become the Embodiment of Truth, and he does not go anywhere else. ||1||Pause||

1158 : 1624
Associating with the sandalwood tree, the tree nearby is changed;

1158 : 1625

1158 : 1632
If I am insane, then I am Yours, O Lord.

1158 : 1633
How can people know my secret? ||1||Pause||

1158 : 1634
I do not pick leaves as offerings, and I do not worship idols.

1158 : 1635
Without devotional worship of the Lord, service is useless. ||2||

1158 : 1636
I worship the True Guru; forever and ever, I surrender to Him.

1158 : 1637
By such service, I find peace in the Court of the Lord. ||3||

1158 : 1638
People say that Kabeer has gone insane.

1158 : 1641
My weaving now is in the most profound celestial stillness. ||1||

1158 : 1642
I have no quarrel with anyone.
