| Sthayi | अरे मन समझ समझ पग धरिये | Are man samajh samajh pag dhariye | Mind, understand well before you place your foot. |
| Sthayi | अरे मन इस जग में नहीं अपना | Are man is jag men nahin apna | Mind, in this world no one is your own. |
| Sthayi | कोई परछांई सों डरिये | Koi parchhaain son dariye | Be wary even of a shadow. |
| Antara | दौलत दुनियां कुटुम कबीला | Daulat duniyaan kutum kabila | Wealth, the world, family and clan— |
| Antara | इन सौं नेह न कबहु न करिये | In saun neh na kabahu na kariye | never become attached to these. |
| Antara | राम नाम सुखधाम जगतपति | Ram naam sukhdhaam jagatpati | Ram’s name is an abode of happiness; he is lord of the world. |
| Antara | सुमिरन सौं जग तरिये | Sumiran saun jag tariye | Through remembrance, cross the worldly ocean. |
Word notes
Pag dhariye means to set down a foot, here with the sense of acting carefully. Neh is affection or attachment, while kutum and kabila name family and clan. Sumiran is remembrance of the divine, and tariye evokes crossing beyond worldly entanglement.
