| Sthayi | मोरे मन जाय शरन तु मुकंदा | More man jaay sharan tu Mukunda | My mind, go and seek refuge in Mukunda. |
| Sthayi | विमल भाव धर अंतःकरना | Vimal bhaav dhar antahkarnaa | Hold a pure feeling in the heart. |
| Sthayi | टूटत सब भव फंदा | Tutat sab bhav phandaa | All the bonds of worldly existence break. |
| Sthayi | जाय शरन तु मुकंदा | Jaay sharan tu Mukunda | Go and seek refuge in Mukunda. |
| Antara | मेरा मेरा ना कछु तेरा | Mera mera na kachhu tera | You keep saying ‘mine, mine’, yet nothing is yours. |
| Antara | झूंठा कलजुग धंदा | Jhunthaa kaljug dhandaa | The dealings of this Kali age are false. |
| Antara | दो दिन को जग चतुर समझ सब | Do din ko jag Chatur samajh sab | Chatur, understand it all: the world lasts but two days. |
| Antara | सांच एक गोबींदा | Saanch ek Govinda | Govinda alone is true. |
