1196 : 1397
If the Lord were totally pleased, then He would let Naam Dayv be His servant. ||3||1||

1196 : 1398
The tidal waves of greed constantly assault me.

1196 : 1399
My body is drowning, O Lord. ||1||

1196 : 1400
Please carry me across the world-ocean, O Lord of the Universe.

1196 : 1401
Carry me across, O Beloved Father. ||1||Pause||

1196 : 1402
I cannot steer my ship in this storm.

1196 : 1403
I cannot find the other shore, O Beloved Lord. ||2||

1196 : 1404
Please be merciful, and unite me with the True Guru;

1196 : 1405
carry me across, O Lord. ||3||

1196 : 1406
Says Naam Dayv, I do not know how to swim.

1196 : 1407
Give me Your Arm, give me Your Arm, O Beloved Lord. ||4||2||

1196 : 1408
Slowly at first, the body-cart loaded with dust starts to move.

1196 : 1409
Later, it is driven on by the stick. ||1||

1196 : 1410
The body moves along like the ball of dung, driven on by the dung-beetle.

1196 : 1411
The beloved soul goes down to the pool to wash itself clean. ||1||Pause||

1196 : 1412
The washerman washes, imbued with the Lord's Love.

1196 : 1413
My mind is imbued with the Lord's Lotus Feet. ||2||

1196 : 1414
Prays Naam Dayv, O Lord, You are All-pervading.

1196 : 1415
Please be kind to Your devotee. ||3||3||

Basant, The Word Of Ravi Daas Jee:

1196 : 1417
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1196 : 1418
You know nothing.

1196 : 1419
Seeing your clothes, you are so proud of yourself.

1196 : 1420
The proud bride shall not find a place with the Lord.

1196 : 1421
Above your head, the crow of death is cawing. ||1||

1196 : 1422
Why are you so proud? You are insane.

Continued...

1196 : 1423
Even the mushrooms of summer live longer than you. ||1||Pause||

1196 : 1424
The deer does not know the secret;

1196 : 1425
the musk is within its own body, but it searches for it outside.

1196 : 1426
Whoever reflects on his own body

1196 : 1427
- the Messenger of Death does not abuse him. ||2||

1196 : 1428
The man is so proud of his sons and his wife;

1196 : 1429
his Lord and Master shall call for his account.

1196 : 1430
The soul suffers in pain for the actions it has committed.

1196 : 1431
Afterwards, whom shall you call, "Dear, Dear."||3||

1196 : 1432
If you seek the Support of the Holy,

1196 : 1433
millions upon millions of your sins shall be totally erased.

1196 : 1434
Says Ravi Daas, one who chants the Naam, the Name of the Lord,

1196 : 1435
is not concerned with social class, birth and rebirth. ||4||1||

1196 : 1436
Basant, Kabeer Jee:

1196 : 1437
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1196 : 1438
You walk like a cow.

1196 : 1439
The hair on your tail is shiny and lustrous. ||1||

1196 : 1440
Look around, and eat anything in this house.

1196 : 1441
But do not go out to any other. ||1||Pause||

1196 : 1442
You lick the grinding bowl, and eat the flour.

1196 : 1443
Where have you taken the kitchen rags? ||2||

1196 : 1444
Your gaze is fixed on the basket in the cupboard.

1196 : 1445
Watch out - a stick may strike you from behind. ||3||

1196 : 1446
Says Kabeer, you have over-indulged in your pleasures.

1196 : 1447
Watch out - someone may throw a brick at you. ||4||1||
