jin ju-aalaa jag jaari-aa so jan kay udak samaan. ||175||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: my mind has become cool and calm; I have come to know the One.
The fire that has burned up the world is like cool water to the One's humble servant.
A mind that knows the One stays cool where the world burns.
A mind that knows the One stays cool where the world burns.
Man seetal bha-i-aa: the mind has cooled. Paa-i-aa barahm gi-aan: the knowing of the One has come. Jin ju-aalaa jag jaari-aa: the fire that burns the world, the heat of wanting, anger and worry. So jan kay udak samaan: for the One's servant, that same fire is like water.
