ਨਾਮਦੇਵ ਕਬੀਰੁ ਤਿਲੋਚਨੁ ਸਧਨਾ ਸੈਨੁ ਤਰੈ ॥
naamdayv kabeer tilochan saDhnaa sain tarai.
Naam Dayv, Kabir, Trilochan, Sadhana and Sain crossed over.
ਕਹਿ ਰਵਿਦਾਸੁ ਸੁਨਹੁ ਰੇ ਸੰਤਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਤੇ ਸਭੈ ਸਰੈ ॥੨॥੧॥
kahi ravidaas sunhu ray santahu har jee-o tay sabhai sarai. ||2||1||
Says Ravi Daas, listen, O Saints, through the Dear Lord, all is accomplished. ||2||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Namdev, Kabir, Trilochan, Sadhna and Sain — each one crossed the wide water and reached the other shore.
Ravidas says: listen, O saints. Through the Dear One, everything gets done.
Through the One, anyone can cross to the other shore.
Namdev, Kabir, Trilochan, Sadhna and Sain came from trades the world looked down on: a tailor, a weaver, a butcher, a barber. All of them crossed over. Birth and rank made no difference; through the One, everything is possible for anyone.
