Jao Ham Bandhe Moh Faas

Ja Karan Ham Tum Aradhe
So Dukh Ajhu Saheeia ॥4॥
O God! You have bound us with the noose of illusion; we have bound You with the bond of love.
We have been released by adoring You, now You try to release Yourself.
O God! You know how we feel towards You. Now what will You do with us, keeping in view our love for You?
Man catches a fish, slices it, cuts it up and cooks it in various ways. He bites it and eats it, still it has not forgotten the water.
The supreme Ruler is no man’s heritage. God is not a feudal estate of any one. God belongs to him who loves Him.
Though the screen of illusion has spread all over the world, yet it does not trouble the saints.
Ravidass says, my devotion to the one God has increased, but to whom shall I tell this now?
I still suffer misery for the removal of which I worship You, O God.
