ਜਿਨਿ ਗੜ ਕੋਟ ਕੀਏ ਕੰਚਨ ਕੇ ਛੋਡਿ ਗਇਆ ਸੋ ਰਾਵਨੁ ॥੧॥

jin garr kott kee kanchan ke chhodd geaa so raavan |1|

Raawan made castles and fortresses of gold, but he had to abandon them when he left. ||1||

ਕਾਹੇ ਕੀਜਤੁ ਹੈ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਵਨੁ ॥

kaahe keejat hai man bhaavan |

Why do you act only to please your mind?

ਜਬ ਜਮੁ ਆਇ ਕੇਸ ਤੇ ਪਕਰੈ ਤਹ ਹਰਿ ਕੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਛਡਾਵਨ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

jab jam aae kes te pakarai teh har ko naam chhaddaavan |1| rahaau |

When Death comes and grabs you by the hair, then only the Name of the Lord will save you. ||1||Pause||

ਕਾਲੁ ਅਕਾਲੁ ਖਸਮ ਕਾ ਕੀਨੑਾ ਇਹੁ ਪਰਪੰਚੁ ਬਧਾਵਨੁ ॥

kaal akaal khasam kaa keenaa ihu parapanch badhaavan |

Death, and deathlessness are the creations of our Lord and Master; this show, this expanse, is only an entanglement.

ਕਹਿ ਕਬੀਰ ਤੇ ਅੰਤੇ ਮੁਕਤੇ ਜਿਨੑ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਰਾਮ ਰਸਾਇਨੁ ॥੨॥੬॥

keh kabeer te ante mukate jina hiradai raam rasaaein |2|6|

Says Kabeer, those who have the sublime essence of the Lord in their hearts - in the end, they are liberated. ||2||6||
