Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: by the grace of the True Guru, I have been set free from both heaven and hell.
From beginning to end, I live in the joy of the One's lotus feet.
Grace lifts you past reward and fear into the joy of the One.
Grace frees a person from chasing heaven and fearing hell, and leaves the joy of the One.
Surag narak tay mai rahi-o: I am spared from surag, heaven, and narak, hell, satgur kay parsaad, by the True Guru's grace. Kabir no longer lives for a prize or out of fear.
Charan kamal kee ma-uj: the joy of the One's lotus feet. Ant ar aad: from the end to the beginning, always.
