English Translation:
My Satguru caught hold of my arm,
otherwise I would have been swept away!
He reduced my karmas to ashes in the fires of Brahm.
Greed, attachments and delusion were burnt down -
my Master is truly merciful.
The false prestige of caste creed and race was erased,
a lowly crow I was; he transformed me into a swan.
With just one glance of mercy
he washed away all my sins.
In ignorance I wandered in delusion
inflated by the vanity of caste and creed;
my Master blessed me with Shabd
and I heard its melody.
All attachments and ego were relinquished
and the grip sensual pleasures lost its hold over me.
Says Kabir, listen, fellow saints,
leaving behind the finite, I have crossed over to the infinite!
This shabad is published by Radha Soami Satsang Beas.
