| Sthayi | गुरु नाथा सबन के नित सुमरे मन जीवित छिन भंगुर | Guru naatha saban ke nit sumare man jivit chhin bhangur | Mind, remember each day the teacher, guide of all; life is fleeting. |
| Antara | जो चाहे तु चतुर सुख संपद | Jo chaahe tu Chatur sukh sampad | Chatur, if you desire happiness and prosperity, |
| Antara | मंगल नाम कमल सुख संवद | Mangal naam kamal sukh sanvad | The auspicious name; ‘kamal sukh sanvad’. |
| Antara | जाकि कृपा सब पुरत काम | Jaaki kripa sab purat kaam | by whose grace all wishes are fulfilled. |
