ਜੋ ਜਨੁ ਭਾਉ ਭਗਤਿ ਕਛੁ ਜਾਨੈ ਤਾ ਕਉ ਅਚਰਜੁ ਕਾਹੋ ॥

Jo Jan Bhaao Bhagath Kashh Jaanai Thaa Ko Acharaj Kaaho ||

That humble being, who knows even a little about loving devotional worship - what surprises are there for him?

ਜਿਉ ਜਲੁ ਜਲ ਮਹਿ ਪੈਸਿ ਨ ਨਿਕਸੈ ਤਿਉ ਢੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਓ ਜੁਲਾਹੋ ॥੧॥

Jio Jal Jal Mehi Pais N Nikasai Thio Dtur Miliou Julaaho ||1||

Like water, dripping into water, which cannot be separated out again, so is the weaver Kabeer, with softened heart, merged into the Lord. ||1||

ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਲੋਗਾ ਮੈ ਤਉ ਮਤਿ ਕਾ ਭੋਰਾ ॥

Har Kae Logaa Mai Tho Math Kaa Bhoraa ||

O people of the Lord, I am just a simple-minded fool.

ਜਉ ਤਨੁ ਕਾਸੀ ਤਜਹਿ ਕਬੀਰਾ ਰਮਈਐ ਕਹਾ ਨਿਹੋਰਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Jo Than Kaasee Thajehi Kabeeraa Rameeai Kehaa Nihoraa ||1|| Rehaao ||

If Kabeer were to leave his body at Benares, and so liberate himself, what obligation would he have to the Lord? ||1||Pause||

ਕਹਤੁ ਕਬੀਰੁ ਸੁਨਹੁ ਰੇ ਲੋਈ ਭਰਮਿ ਨ ਭੂਲਹੁ ਕੋਈ ॥

Kehath Kabeer Sunahu Rae Loee Bharam N Bhoolahu Koee ||

Says Kabeer, listen, O people - do not be deluded by doubt.

ਕਿਆ ਕਾਸੀ ਕਿਆ ਊਖਰੁ ਮਗਹਰੁ ਰਾਮੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਜਉ ਹੋਈ ॥੨॥੩॥

Kiaa Kaasee Kiaa Ookhar Magehar Raam Ridhai Jo Hoee ||2||3||

What is the difference between Benares and the barren land of Maghar, if the Lord is within one's heart? ||2||3||
