Aavo Mongho Padaarath Re Maankho Haalyo Jaay Chhe
Aavo Ratan Padaarath Re Heerlo Khovaai Jashe...
Saache Dilethi Saahebne Samaro, Totaa Moor Veraag Madshe,
Lagni Laagyaa Vinaa Paar Nahi Poncho, Adhvach Jai Athraasho...
Vasmi Vaatu Vaank Ghaneraa, Emaa Paaru Haalvu Padshe,
Ghaachu Ghaneri Emaa Gudaa Khodsho, Tayye Khamaa Khamaa Kon Karshe...
Kaayaanaa Roop Dekhi Man Mat Dolo, Taaru Sthir (kaayam) Joban Nahi Reshe,
Ochhintaanaa Tedaa Aavshe, Taney Jamdaa Zaali Leshe...
Sarjanhaaraanu Samran Karile, Totaa Taari Vaat Vaikunthmaa Vanchaashe,
Laaldaas Gurudevne Charne, Aavaagaman Mati Jaashe...


This Priceless Body Is Gradually Being Wasted Away
This Precious Ruby, This Unique Diamond (body) Will Be Lost
Remember Saaheb (god) With A True Heart To Find The Path Of Renunciation
You Will Not Reach Your Destination, But Get Lost Half Way
The Path Is Very Difficult With Many Bends Where You Will Have To Walk
There Are Many Pitfalls, You Will Hurt Your Knees, Who Will Pamper You Then?
Do Not Stray Just By Seeing The Beauty Of Bodies, Your Youth Will Not Last Forever
Suddenly Your Time Will Come And The Messengers Of Death Will Get Hold Of You
If You Chant The Name Of The Creator, Your Name Will Be Mentioned In Heaven
Laaldaas Bows At The Feet Of Gurudev And Says Your Cycle Of Birth And Death Will End
