khasam na chinghe bawri ka karat baDai
khasam na chīnghe bāvrī kā karat baḌā.ī
bātan lagan na hoyañge chhoḌau chaturā.ī
sākhī shabd sandeh padhi mat bhulo bhaa.ī
sār-prem kachhu aur hai khojo so paa.ī
O man, if thou dost not know thine own Lord, whereof art thou so proud?
Put thy cleverness away: mere words shall never unite thee to Him.
Do not deceive thyself with the witness of the Scriptures:
Love is something other than this, and he who has sought it truly has found it.

sar-prem kachhu aur hai khojo so pai

Put thy cleverness away: mere words shall never unite thee to Him.
