Translation

(1) Kahe to vaḷī kahu ek vāt suṇajyo sahu maḷī

Sadguru Nishkulanand Swami

Kahe to vaḷī kahu ek vāt, suṇajyo sahu maḷī;

 Chhe jo sāmbhaḷyā jevī sākshāt, vā’lape kahu vaḷī... 1

(1) If you permit, let me tell you a tale. Everyone gather around and listen. It it worthy of listening to in person as I tell you lovingly.

Jem nardev daīne danḍ, verīne vashya kare;

 Liye khāṭī te sarve khanḍ, dushṭ te sarve ḍare... 2

(2) Just as a king who vanquishes his enemies by punishing them and who seizes all of the lands is feared by all evil people...

Tem pragaṭī Pūraṇbrahma, santnā shatru haṇyā;

 Kām krodh lobh je visham, te truṇ tulya gaṇyā... 3

(3) Similarly, manifesting on earth, God slayed the enemies of the sadhus - the adverse vices, such as lust, anger, and greed; but compared to his powers, they are as insignificant as blades of grass.

Svād sneh mamtā mān, pāpī pārothā kīdhā;

 Kahe Nishkuḷānand nidān, nij jan tārī līdhā... 4

(4) Nishkulanand Swami asserts, “God saved his devotees by banishing sinners full of gluttony, ego, attachment, and affection for one’s relations.”
