-478But when the oil is burnt, the wick goes out, and the mansion becomes desolate. || 1 || O mad-man, no one will keep you, for even a moment. Meditate on the Name of that Lord. || 1 || Pause II Tell me, whose mother is that, whose father is that, and which man has a wife? When the pitcher of the body breaks, no one cares for you at all. Everyone says, "Take him away, take him away!" || 2 || Sitting on the threshold, his mother cries, and his brothers take away the coffin. Taking down her hair, his wife cries out in sorrow, and the swan-soul departs all alone. || 3 || Says Kabeer, listen, O Saints, about the terrifying world-ocean. This human suffers torture and the Messenger of Death will not leave him alone, O Lord of the World. Il 4 || 9 || DU-TUKAS II
ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU:
AASAA OF KABEER JEE, CHAU-PADAS, IK-TUKAS: Sanak and Sanand, the sons of Brahma, could not find the Lord's limits. Brahma wasted his life away, continually reading the Vedas. ||1|| Churn the churn of the Lord, O my siblings of Destiny. Churn it steadily, so that the essence, the butter, may not be lost. || 1 || Pause I Make your body the churning jar, and use the stick of your mind to churn it. Gather the curds of the Word of the Shabad. || 2 || The churning of the Lord is to reflect upon Him within your mind. By Guru's Grace, the Ambrosial Nectar flows into us. || 3 | Says Kabeer, if the Lord, our king casts His Glance of Grace, one is carried across to the other side, holding fast to the Lord's Name. || 4 || 1 || 10 | AASAA: The wick has dried up, and the oil is exhausted. The drum does not sound, and the actor has gone to sleep. ||1|| The fire has gone out, and no smoke is produced. The One Lord is pervading and permeating everywhere; there is no other second. || 1 || Pause II The string has broken, and the guitar makes no sound. He mistakenly ruins his own affairs. | 2 || When one comes to understand, he forgets his preaching, ranting and raving, and arguing. || 3 || Says Kabeer, the state of supreme dignity is never far from those who conquer the five demons of the body passions. || 4 || 2 || 11 || AASAA: As many mistakes as the son commits, his mother does not hold them against him in her mind. || 1 || O Lord, I am Your child. Why not destroy my sins? || 1 || Pause 1 If the son, in anger, runs away, even then, his mother does not hold it against him in her mind. || 2 || My mind has fallen into the whirlpool of anxiety. Without the Naam, how can I cross over to the other side? || 3 || Please, bless my body with pure and lasting understanding, Lord; in peace and poise, Kabeer chants the Praises of the Lord. || 4 || 3 || 12 || AASAA: My pilgrimage to Mecca is on the banks of the Gomati River; the spiritual teacher in his yellow robes dwells there. || 1 || Waaho! Waaho! Hail! Hail! How wondrously he sings.
