Jagat jot japai nisbasar, Inspired by devocation, And awake to His light Singing perpetually,
The name of the Lord ;
Absorbed in His splendour.
Absorbed in his life ; Even in error
Never believing
In fasts and tombs Temples and idols,
Or anything but
The devotion to the One: Caring not even for,
Compassion or charity
If God’s thought be not in them ; Caring not for penances,
Not for bathings
In the holy places,
Nor for the yogis self macerations: Such a child of Light
Such a paragon
Such a complete Man
Fully enlightened
Jn heart and soul,
To be the pure, the Khalsa
Is worthily deemed.
