Translation

(1) Suṇo sādhu Shukjī sarkhā re Nārad jevā nek

Sadguru Nishkulanand Swami

Suṇo sādhu Shukjī sarkhā re, Nārad jevā nek;

 Nathī upma māno mūrkhā re, ur karo vivek... 1

(1) Listen, sadhus as great as Shukji and as pious as Narajdi are one of a kind. Fools, believe me that they cannot be compared to others (frauds); think about this with discretion.

Jaḍbharat jevā jāṇīe re, Sanakādik samān;

 Kadraj jevā vakhāṇīe re, kharā kshmāvān... 2

(2) True sadhus are like Jadbharat and Sanakadik; we praise Kadraj, who was very forgiving...

Evī sādhutāne āshrī re, jyāre līdho jog;

 Tyāre prīt sahushu parharī re, bhulvā bhav bhog... 3

(3) When we have chosen the path of the sadhus like these, then we have broken all affection from everyone and the indulgences of the world.

Enī rītye rītya āpṇī re bījī rītye bādh;

 Parharo parī pāpṇī re, vaḷgī e varādh... 4

(4) Our way is their way; any other way is binding (we will become bound to this world). Renounce and stay away from sinful desires, which cling to you like a disease.

Fogaṭ paḍtā bījā fandmā re, āve dukh atyant;

 Nishkuḷānand ānandmā re, sadā rahone sant... 5

(5) By getting trapped in the vain happiness of the world, one invites great suffering. Nishkulanand Swami says, “Oh sadhus! Remain forever joyful.”
