Gourree Kabeer Jee ||

Gauree, Kabeer Jee:

ਮਾਧਉ ਜਲ ਕੀ ਪਿਆਸ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥

Madhho Jal Kee Pias N Jae ||

O Lord, my thirst for the Water of Your Name will not go away.

ਜਲ ਮਹਿ ਅਗਨਿ ਉਠੀ ਅਧਿਕਾਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Jal Mehi Agan Outhee Adhhikae ||1|| Rehao ||

The fire of my thirst burns even more brightly in that Water. ||1||Pause||

ਤੂੰ ਜਲਨਿਧਿ ਹਉ ਜਲ ਕਾ ਮੀਨੁ ॥

Thoon Jalanidhh Ho Jal Ka Meen ||

You are the Ocean of Water, and I am just a fish in that Water.

ਜਲ ਮਹਿ ਰਹਉ ਜਲਹਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਖੀਨੁ ॥੧॥

Jal Mehi Reho Jalehi Bin Kheen ||1||

In that Water, I remain; without that Water, I would perish. ||1||

ਜਮੁ ਮੰਜਾਰੁ ਕਹਾ ਕਰੈ ਮੋਰ ॥੨॥

Jam Manjar Keha Karai Mor ||2||

So what can the cat of death do to me? ||2||

ਤੂੰ ਤਰਵਰੁ ਹਉ ਪੰਖੀ ਆਹਿ ॥

Thoon Tharavar Ho Pankhee Ahi ||

You are the tree, and I am the bird.

ਮੰਦਭਾਗੀ ਤੇਰੋ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਨਾਹਿ ॥੩॥

Mandhabhagee Thaero Dharasan Nahi ||3||

I am so unfortunate - I cannot see the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan! ||3||

ਤੂੰ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਹਉ ਨਉਤਨੁ ਚੇਲਾ ॥

Thoon Sathigur Ho Nouthan Chaela ||

You are the True Guru, and I am Your new disciple.

ਕਹਿ ਕਬੀਰ ਮਿਲੁ ਅੰਤ ਕੀ ਬੇਲਾ ॥੪॥੨॥

Kehi Kabeer Mil Anth Kee Baela ||4||2||

Says Kabeer, O Lord, please meet me - this is my very last chance! ||4||2||
