Listen close, my brother, gold cannot stay, all is illusion,
A stranger's touch, it comes and goes, forsake this world's confusion.
Oh, son, relinquish this illusion, cast aside this guise.
Listen close, my brother, gold cannot stay, all is illusion,
A stranger's touch, it comes and goes, forsake this world's confusion.
Oh, son, relinquish this illusion, cast aside this guise.
When you depart this world, it will not come, this wealth is borrowed,
Everything must leave behind, forsake this world's confusion.
Oh, son, relinquish this illusion, cast aside this guise.

Thus spoke the bard Kabir, this world a traveler's inn,
Why brother? Ha, ha, ha, ha.
From a transient shelter, reach out your hand, begin,
Why brother? Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Oh, servant, with the heavens, weave your tie, begin,
Oh, son, relinquish this illusion, cast aside this guise.
Listen close, my brother, gold cannot stay, all is illusion,
A stranger's touch, it comes and goes, forsake this world's confusion.
Oh, son, relinquish this illusion, cast aside this guise.

This illusion, a deceiver, plunders lands afar,
Why brother? Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Shows countless forms, a chameleon, changing every scar,
Why brother? Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Oh, turn your face from this enchantress's dark art,
Oh, son, relinquish this illusion, cast aside this guise.
Listen close, my brother, gold cannot stay, all is illusion,
A stranger's touch, it comes and goes, forsake this world's confusion.
Oh, son, relinquish this illusion, cast aside this guise.

This world, a maze of riddles, a game of tangled thread,
Why brother? Ha, ha, ha, ha.
On every path, a snare is laid, at every step, the dead,
Why brother? Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Oh, rely on Ram, and release your boat's thread,
Oh, son, relinquish this illusion, cast aside this guise.
Listen close, my brother, gold cannot stay, all is illusion,
A stranger's touch, it comes and goes, forsake this world's confusion.
Oh, son, relinquish this illusion, cast aside this guise.
When you depart this world, it will not come, this wealth is borrowed,
Everything must leave behind, forsake this world's confusion.
Oh, son, relinquish this illusion, cast aside this guise.
