Karo, Nath, man ichbd puran :
Guru Gorahnatli.
is karan chal ai."
" Ja k^ tam tashna adhik so andha kar deh ;
Pap pun jane nakin chahat karan sneh
185 Chahat karaa sneh : kahun main mukh se sachi bani.
Yeh duniya hai khan kapat ki : tun kyiln hM diwani
Jo kuchh ank likha Karta ne, lag gal karam nishani.
Ja ghar I Baith raho mahilon men, Har se dhyan lagani."
E&ni B&chhal.
" Jo ch§.ho, SOI karo ! Turn sat ho, Gorakh !
190 Is duniy& ke bich men nam mahara rakh !
Nam mahara rakh : Mth tumhari hai dori !
Jo ch§,ho, so karo ! tumhen kis ki hai chori
Bhu sagar men bahi ! karo mera nastara !
Dhirag jiun jagat bich ;
bina putar hai hara."
Fulfil, saint, the desire of my heart : for this am I come."
Guru Gorakhnath.
" Whose body is full of envy it makes him blind.
Not knowing right from wrong he would be loving :
185 He would be loving : I speak truth from my lips-
This world is a pit of deceit : why art become mad
The fate that god has written, the sign of that fate has
been made.
Go home! sit in the palace, worshipping Hari."
Queen Bdchhal,
" Do as thou wilt ! Be thou true, Gorakhnath !
190 Protect my name in this world !
Protect my name : the power* is in thy hand !
Do as thou wilt ! whom dost thou fear t
I am afloat on the sea of the world !
:
Grant me salvation
Accursed I live in the world, ruined (by being) without
a son ! "
