ਕਵਨ ਭਕਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਭਕਤ ਵਛਲ ਭਏ ਪਤਿਤ ਪਾਵਨ ਭਏ ਕੌਨ ਪਤਿਤਾਈ ਕੈ ।
kavan bhakat kar bhakat vachhal bhe patit paavan bhe kauan patitaaee kai |

O Lord! what is that worship that has made You the beloved of the worshippers? Which is that apostasy that has made You the forgiver and purifier of the sinners?

ਦੀਨ ਦੁਖ ਭੰਜਨ ਭਏ ਸੁ ਕੌਨ ਦੀਨਤਾ ਕੈ ਗਰਬ ਪ੍ਰਹਾਰੀ ਭਏ ਕਵਨ ਬਡਾਈ ਕੈ ।
deen dukh bhanjan bhe su kauan deenataa kai garab prahaaree bhe kavan baddaaee kai |

Which is that humility that has made You the allayer of the sufferings of the poor? Which is that ego-filled praise that has made You the destroyer of the pride and arrogance?

ਕਵਨ ਸੇਵਾ ਕੈ ਨਾਥ ਸੇਵਕ ਸਹਾਈ ਭਏ ਅਸੁਰ ਸੰਘਾਰਣ ਹੈ ਕੌਨ ਅਸੁਰਾਈ ਕੈ ।
kavan sevaa kai naath sevak sahaaee bhe asur sanghaaran hai kauan asuraaee kai |

Which is that service of Your slave that has made You his master and You have helped him? Which is that devilish and demonic trait that has made You the destroyer of the demons.

ਭਗਤਿ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਅਘ ਦੀਨਤਾ ਗਰਬ ਸੇਵਾ ਜਾਨੌ ਨ ਬਿਰਦ ਮਿਲੌ ਕਵਨ ਕਨਾਈ ਕੈ ।੬੦੧।
bhagat jugat agh deenataa garab sevaa jaanau na birad milau kavan kanaaee kai |601|

O my Lord! I have not been able to fathom Your duty and nature. Please be kind and tell me by what form of worship and service that can bring humility in me, destroy my ego and apostasy, can I reach you? (601)
