1159 : 1643
I have abandoned both the Pandits, the Hindu religious scholars, and the Mullahs, the Muslim priests. ||1||Pause||

1159 : 1644
I weave and weave, and wear what I weave.

1159 : 1645
Where egotism does not exist, there I sing God's Praises. ||2||

1159 : 1646
Whatever the Pandits and Mullahs have written,

1159 : 1647
I reject; I do not accept any of it. ||3||

1159 : 1648
My heart is pure, and so I have seen the Lord within.

1159 : 1649
Searching, searching within the self, Kabeer has met the Lord. ||4||7||

1159 : 1650
No one respects the poor man.

1159 : 1651
He may make thousands of efforts, but no one pays any attention to him. ||1||Pause||

1159 : 1652
When the poor man goes to the rich man,

1159 : 1653
and sits right in front of him, the rich man turns his back on him. ||1||

1159 : 1654
But when the rich man goes to the poor man,

1159 : 1655
the poor man welcomes him with respect. ||2||

1159 : 1656
The poor man and the rich man are both brothers.

1159 : 1657
God's pre-ordained plan cannot be erased. ||3||

1159 : 1658
Says Kabeer, he alone is poor,

1159 : 1659
who does not have the Naam, the Name of the Lord, in his heart. ||4||8||

1159 : 1660
Serving the Guru, devotional worship is practiced.

1159 : 1661
Then, this human body is obtained.

1159 : 1662
Even the gods long for this human body.

1159 : 1663
So vibrate that human body, and think of serving the Lord. ||1||

1159 : 1664
Vibrate, and meditate on the Lord of the Universe, and never forget Him.

1159 : 1665
This is the blessed opportunity of this human incarnation. ||1||Pause||

1159 : 1666
As long as the disease of old age has not come to the body,

1159 : 1667
and as long as death has not come and seized the body,

1159 : 1668
and as long as your voice has not lost its power,

1159 : 1669
O mortal being, vibrate and meditate on the Lord of the World. ||2||

1159 : 1670
If you do not vibrate and meditate on Him now, when will you, O Sibing of Destiny?

1159 : 1671
When the end comes, you will not be able to vibrate and meditate on Him.

1159 : 1672
Whatever you have to do - now is the best time to do it.

1159 : 1673
Otherwise, you shall regret and repent afterwards, and you shall not be carried across to the other side. ||3||

1159 : 1674
He alone is a servant, whom the Lord enjoins to His service.

1159 : 1675
He alone attains the Immaculate Divine Lord.

1159 : 1676
Meeting with the Guru, his doors are opened wide,

1159 : 1677
and he does not have to journey again on the path of reincarnation. ||4||

1159 : 1678
This is your chance, and this is your time.

1159 : 1679
Look deep into your own heart, and reflect on this.

1159 : 1680
Says Kabeer, you can win or lose.

1159 : 1681
In so many ways, I have proclaimed this out loud. ||5||1||9||

1159 : 1682
In the City of God, sublime understanding prevails.

1159 : 1683
There, you shall meet with the Lord, and reflect on Him.

1159 : 1684
Thus, you shall understand this world and the next.

1159 : 1685
What is the use of claiming that you own everything, if you only die in the end? ||1||

1159 : 1686
I focus my meditation on my inner self, deep within.

1159 : 1687
The Name of the Sovereign Lord is my spiritual wisdom. ||1||Pause||

1159 : 1688
In the first chakra, the root chakra, I have grasped the reins and tied them.

1159 : 1689
I have firmly placed the moon above the sun.

1159 : 1690
The sun blazes forth at the western gate.

1159 : 1691
Through the central channel of the Shushmanaa, it rises up above my head. ||2||

1159 : 1692
There is a stone at that western gate,

1159 : 1693
and above that stone, is another window.

1159 : 1694
Above that window is the Tenth Gate.

1159 : 1695
Says Kabeer, it has no end or limitation. ||3||2||10||

1159 : 1696
He alone is a Mullah, who struggles with his mind,

1159 : 1697
and through the Guru's Teachings, fights with death.

1159 : 1698
He crushes the pride of the Messenger of Death.

1159 : 1699
Unto that Mullah, I ever offer greetings of respect. ||1||
