Oh daas, look at what you do!

You stick to maya

Like a baby to its mother.

Ignorant daas, where is your real mother?

You are trapped in its grip,

Can you not see?

Oh daas, you fool!

Meditate on the true name

And leave this wretched place.

Daas, all your belongings won’t go with you,

You cannot hold your mother’s hand,

In the end only your doing matters,

Daas, why do you waste your life so?

Oh daas, the true Guru has shown you the way,

Yet you walk down the dark path

Holding hands with the five thieves.

Foolish daas, can you not see them eating you alive?

The demons tear your flesh,

Yet you hold on to them like candy.

Daas, let them go and save yourself,

The true Guru will protect you now!

Daas, you fool, do you not hear?

They eat your flesh,

Your blood and life force is trickling down your face,

Daas, are you so blind?

The world is dark,

Daas, without a light, you cannot see.

You stumble in the darkness,

Gasping for air.

Daas, without the lamp of the true naam,

What is the point of seeing or breathing?

Daas, you must mend your ways,

You run around screaming like a child,

“Me, Me!!”

Daas, what have you ever done

That can even compare to that which he does?

Daas, you look at women

As a pauper looks at food.

Daas, can you not see the illusion?

They are only dust!

Daas cannot stop talking,

All you do is talk!

Daas, your nose will be cut

And your face blackened

For all the gossip and slander you do.

Daas you treat your body temple as if it were yours,

You wash its walls

And decorate it,

But what happens when it returns to the true owner?

The drumbeat of naam can already be heard in the distance,

Why do you fight it?

Oh daas, you cry and cry,

You wonder, “Oh lord, where are you?”

Daas! He is within you!

But you fool, you cannot see it!

Your tears are so fake,

Yet they keep coming,

Does your ego know no bounds?

Daas, you ignorant fool,

You should be locked in a dungeon for all eternity,

You do not know anything of spiritual knowledge,

You try to lead others, but you cannot even see!

Daas, you truly are an idiot!

Daas, only the naam can save you now,

Why do you not recite it?

Oh, true Guru, save this lowly insect!

Daas cannot even be a speck of dust on the foot

Of an insect of your creation.

Daas, only with his grace will you be saved.
