| Sthayi | भज हरिनाम तू मोरे मनवा | Bhaj harinaam tu more manava | My mind, chant Hari’s name. |
| Sthayi | सब सुखकारक भवभयहारक | Sab sukhakaarak bhavabhayahaarak | It brings every happiness and removes the fear of worldly existence. |
| Sthayi | पूरन होत सकल तेरे काम | Puran hot sakal tere kaam | All your tasks come to fulfilment. |
| Antara | यह संसार घड़ी का सपना | Yah sansaar ghari ka sapana | This world is a dream of a moment. |
| Antara | सांच एक चतुर को नाम | Saanch ek Chatur ko naam | Chatur, the one name is true. |
Word notes
Harinaam is the name of Hari invoked in remembrance. Bhavabhayahaarak joins the fear of worldly existence with its removal. The image of a momentary dream contrasts the world’s passing appearance with the enduring truth of the name.
