rae man thaero koe nehee khinch laee jin bhaar ||

O my mind, even if you carry someone's burden, they don't belong to you.

birakh basaero pankh ko thaiso eihu sansaar ||1||

This world is like the perch of the bird on the tree. ||1||

raam ras peeaa rae ||

I drink in the sublime essence of the Lord.

jih ras bisar geae ras aour ||1|| rehaao ||

With the taste of this essence, I have forgotten all other tastes.

aour mueae kiaa roeeai jo aapaa thhir n rehaae ||

Why should we weep at the death of others, when we ourselves are not permanent?

jo oupajai so binas hai dhukh kar rovai balaae ||2||

Whoever is born shall pass away; why should we cry out in grief? ||2||
