For the king’s daughter, one became the disguiser.
Though lustful and selfish, even his honor was preserved. 1.
O! World-Guru! What’s Your virtue, if my deed isn’t rescinded?
What’s the use of going to a tiger’s sanctuary, if the jackal is going to eat you? 1. Reflect.
For one drop of water, a rain-bird suffers the pain.
If breath leaves and the ocean is obtained, it is of no use. 2

Drowned dead, found boat, tell me, who to board? 3.
I am nothing, I have nothing, nothing is mine.
At this moment, preserve Your servant Sadhna’s honor. 4

We are finite; our understanding is finite. Our understanding was different yesterday and may evolve tomorrow as we deepen our relationship with the Sabad. In this trans-creation, we have chosen to keep the repeating words in the Sabad same. We aspire to learn and retain the Divine attribute used in the original Sabad and avoid terms like God or Lord.
