Gauree:

ਰੇ ਮਨ ਤੇਰੋ ਕੋਇ ਨਹੀ ਖਿੰਚਿ ਲੇਇ ਜਿਨਿ ਭਾਰੁ ॥

re man tero koe nahee khinch lee jin bhaar |

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

ਬਿਰਖ ਬਸੇਰੋ ਪੰਖਿ ਕੋ ਤੈਸੋ ਇਹੁ ਸੰਸਾਰੁ ॥੧॥

birakh basero pankh ko taiso ihu sansaar |1|

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

ਰਾਮ ਰਸੁ ਪੀਆ ਰੇ ॥

raam ras peea re |

I drink in the sublime essence of the Lord.

ਜਿਹ ਰਸ ਬਿਸਰਿ ਗਏ ਰਸ ਅਉਰ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

jih ras bisar ge ras aaur |1| rahaau |

With the taste of this essence, I have forgotten all other tastes. ||1||Pause||

ਅਉਰ ਮੁਏ ਕਿਆ ਰੋਈਐ ਜਉ ਆਪਾ ਥਿਰੁ ਨ ਰਹਾਇ ॥

aaur mue kiaa roeeai jau aapaa thir na rahaae |

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

ਜੋ ਉਪਜੈ ਸੋ ਬਿਨਸਿ ਹੈ ਦੁਖੁ ਕਰਿ ਰੋਵੈ ਬਲਾਇ ॥੨॥

jo upajai so binas hai dukh kar rovai balaae |2|

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

ਜਹ ਕੀ ਉਪਜੀ ਤਹ ਰਚੀ ਪੀਵਤ ਮਰਦਨ ਲਾਗ ॥

jeh kee upajee teh rachee peevat maradan laag |

We are re-absorbed into the One from whom we came; drink in the Lord's essence, and remain attached to Him.

ਕਹਿ ਕਬੀਰ ਚਿਤਿ ਚੇਤਿਆ ਰਾਮ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਬੈਰਾਗ ॥੩॥੨॥੧੩॥੬੪॥

keh kabeer chit chetiaa raam simar bairaag |3|2|13|64|

Says Kabeer, my consciousness is filled with thoughts of remembrance of the Lord; I have become detached from the world. ||3||2||13||64||
