जेहि रहीम मन आपनो कीन्हो चारू चकोर |
नीसी-बसर लाग्यो रहे, कृष्णचंद्रा की ओर ||
रहिमन कौ का करै, ज्वारी चोर लबार |
जो पट रखन हर है, माखन चंखन हर ||
Those who have taken shelter at the all pervading consciousness need not worry about petty thieves and deceitful people.
रहिमन गली है सकरी, दूजो नहीं ठहराही |
आपु अहै, तो हरि नहीं, हरि तो आपुन नहीं ||
The lane is very narrow. There is space for only one. Either ego or God will be accommodated.
अमरबेली बिनु मूल की, प्रतिपलट है ताहि |
रहिमन ऐसे प्रभुहि ताजी, खोजत फिरिए कही ||
The creeper of amarbeli doesn't have any root, it is nourished by God. Why you are searching your roots when God is there to take care.
जाल परे जल जात बही, तजि मीनन को मोह |
रहिमन मछरी नीर को तौ ना चडती च्चोह ||
A fish is caught in a net and taken away from water. Water lets the fish go. Look at the love that the fish has for water, the fish prefers death to separation.
धनी रहीम गति मीन की, जल बिच्छुरत जिय जाय |
जियत कंज तजि अनत बसी, कहा भौर को भय ||
What a great attachment the fish has to water. If water is not there the fish dies. And look at the bee it flies away from the flower while alive.
प्रीतम च्छबी नैनन बसी, पर-च्छबी कहा समाय |
भरी सराय रहींम लखि, पथिक आप फिर जाय ||
When true love fills the eyes, there is no scope there for anything else. Everything else backtracks as there is no scope for any accommodation.
रहिमन पैदा प्रेम को, निपट सिलसिली गैल |
बीलछत पाव पिपीलिको, लोग लड़ावत बैल ||
The path of love is very slippery. Even an ant slips walking path of love and people think that they will travel the path of love by riding a bullock. The path of love can be treaded by those who make their mind understand very subtle things. If one uses gross means for attainig love, one is bound to fail.
रहिमन धागा प्रेम का, मत तोडो चटकाय |
टूटे से फिर ना मिले, मिले गाँठ पड़ जाये ||
Please don’t break the string of love by applying jerks. If it breaks it can’t be tied, if tied there will be a knot.
रहिमन प्रीति सराहिये, मिले होत रंग दून |
ज्यों जर्दी हरदी तजै, तजै सफेदी चून ||
Rahim appreciates that love where lovers lose their identities and create a new identity. If turmeric and lime are mixed both lose their colors and a new color is produced.
