| Sthayi | रब सों नेह लगा तु मनवा | Rab son neh laga tu manava | Mind, set your love upon the Lord. |
| Sthayi | दूजो नाहिं शरनवा | Dujo naahin sharanava | There is no other refuge. |
| Antara | सांचो सुखी कोउ जग में न दीसत | Saancho sukhi kou jag men na disat | No one in the world appears truly happy. |
| Antara | हररंग मान बचनवा | Harrang maan bachanava | Harrang, heed these words. |
Word notes
Neh means loving attachment, and rab addresses the Lord. Sharanava carries the sense of shelter, while bachanava refers to spoken counsel. Saancho sukhi asks about genuine happiness rather than its outward appearance.
