| Speaking with the Saints, one becomes generous. |
|
| ਮੂਰਖ ਸਿਉ ਬੋਲੇ ਝਖ ਮਾਰੀ ॥੨॥ |
| moorakh sio bolae jhakh maaree ||2|| |
| To speak with a fool is to babble uselessly. ||2|| |
|
| ਬੋਲਤ ਬੋਲਤ ਬਢਹਿ ਬਿਕਾਰਾ ॥ |

| The Celestial Lord is in the Akaashic ethers of the skies, the Celestial Lord is in the nether regions of the underworld; in the four directions, the Celestial Lord is pervading. |
|
| ਆਨਦ ਮੂਲੁ ਸਦਾ ਪੁਰਖੋਤਮੁ ਘਟੁ ਬਿਨਸੈ ਗਗਨੁ ਨ ਜਾਇਲੇ ॥੧॥ |
| aanadh mool sadhaa purakhotham ghatt binasai gagan n jaaeilae ||1|| |
| The Supreme Lord God is forever the source of bliss. When the vessel of the body perishes, the Celestial Lord does not perish. ||1|| |

| panch thath mil kaaeiaa keenhee thath kehaa thae keen rae || |
| The body is formed from the union of the five tatvas; but where were the five tatvas created? |

| karam badhh thum jeeo kehath ha karamehi kin jeeo dheen rae ||2|| |
| You say that the soul is tied to its karma, but who gave karma to the body? ||2|| |
|
| ਹਰਿ ਮਹਿ ਤਨੁ ਹੈ ਤਨ ਮਹਿ ਹਰਿ ਹੈ ਸਰਬ ਨਿਰੰਤਰਿ ਸੋਇ ਰੇ ॥ |
| har mehi than hai than mehi har hai sarab niranthar soe rae || |
| The body is contained in the Lord, and the Lord is contained in the body. He is permeating within all. |
|
| ਕਹਿ ਕਬੀਰ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਛੋਡਉ ਸਹਜੇ ਹੋਇ ਸੁ ਹੋਇ ਰੇ ॥੩॥੩॥ |

|
| ਭੁਜਾ ਬਾਂਧਿ ਭਿਲਾ ਕਰਿ ਡਾਰਿਓ ॥ |
| bhujaa baandhh bhilaa kar ddaariou || |
| They tied my arms, bundled me up, and threw me before an elephant. |
|
| ਹਸਤੀ ਕ੍ਰੋਪਿ ਮੂੰਡ ਮਹਿ ਮਾਰਿਓ ॥ |
| hasathee krop moondd mehi maariou || |
| The elephant driver struck him on the head, and infuriated him. |
|
| ਹਸਤਿ ਭਾਗਿ ਕੈ ਚੀਸਾ ਮਾਰੈ ॥ |
| hasath bhaag kai cheesaa maarai || |
| But the elephant ran away, trumpeting, |
|
| ਇਆ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਕੈ ਹਉ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੈ ॥੧॥ |
| eiaa moorath kai ho balihaarai ||1|| |
| "I am a sacrifice to this image of the Lord."||1|| |
|
| ਆਹਿ ਮੇਰੇ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਤੁਮਰਾ ਜੋਰੁ ॥ |
| aahi maerae thaakur thumaraa jor || |
| O my Lord and Master, You are my strength. |
|
| ਕਾਜੀ ਬਕਿਬੋ ਹਸਤੀ ਤੋਰੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ |

| The Qazi shouted at the driver to drive the elephant on. ||1||Pause|| |
|
| ਰੇ ਮਹਾਵਤ ਤੁਝੁ ਡਾਰਉ ਕਾਟਿ ॥ |
| rae mehaavath thujh ddaaro kaatt || |
| He yelled out, ""O driver, I shall cut you into pieces. |
|
| ਇਸਹਿ ਤੁਰਾਵਹੁ ਘਾਲਹੁ ਸਾਟਿ ॥ |

| Hit him, and drive him on!"" |
|
| ਹਸਤਿ ਨ ਤੋਰੈ ਧਰੈ ਧਿਆਨੁ ॥ |
| hasath n thorai dhharai dhhiaan || |
| But the elephant did not move; instead, he began to meditate. |
|
| ਵਾ ਕੈ ਰਿਦੈ ਬਸੈ ਭਗਵਾਨੁ ॥੨॥ |
| vaa kai ridhai basai bhagavaan ||2|| |
| The Lord God abides within his mind. ||2|| |
|
| ਕਿਆ ਅਪਰਾਧੁ ਸੰਤ ਹੈ ਕੀਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਾ ॥ |
| kiaa aparaadhh santh hai keenhaa || |
| What sin has this Saint committed, |
|
| ਬਾਂਧਿ ਪੋਟ ਕੁੰਚਰ ਕਉ ਦੀਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਾ ॥ |
| baandhh pott kunchar ko dheenhaa || |
| that you have made him into a bundle and thrown him before the elephant? |
|
| ਕੁੰਚਰੁ ਪੋਟ ਲੈ ਲੈ ਨਮਸਕਾਰੈ ॥ |
| kunchar pott lai lai namasakaarai || |
| Lifting up the bundle, the elephant bows down before it. |
|
| ਬੂਝੀ ਨਹੀ ਕਾਜੀ ਅੰਧਿਆਰੈ ॥੩॥ |
| boojhee nehee kaajee andhhiaarai ||3|| |
| The Qazi could not understand it; he was blind. ||3|| |

| theen baar patheeaa bhar leenaa || |
| Three times, he tried to do it. |
