ਸਮੁਝਿ ਬਿਚਾਰਿ ਬੋਲਿ ਕਹਾਂ ਘੌਂ, ਆਪਹਿ ਆਪ ਸਮਾਣਾ ॥੩॥
Kaa Gayoun Kachhu Gaye Na Hoi,
Gayoun Roop Sehjai Soye. || Tek ||
Neh Akaas Neh Dhar Dharni,
Pawan Pur Ghat Chanda.
Neh Ab Ram Kisan Gun Bhai,
Bolat Hai Suchh Chhanda.
Neh Ab Bed Kateb Puranan,
Sun Sehaj Re Bhai.
Neh Ab Main Tain, Tain Main Nahi,
Ka Seyu Kaho Bataye.
Bhanai Ravidass Ka Keh Gayoun,
Gaain Gaye Haraana.
Samujh Bichar Bol Kahan Ghou,
Aaphi Aap Samanna.
What shall I sing? I am unable to sing a song in the praise of God because by singing such songs I have attained the state of spiritual calm.
After achieving the state of ecstasy, there is neither any sky for me nor the earth. I do not feel the blowing wind or see the moon in the sky or any city on the earth. I have forgotten the splendour of Ram and Krishan. I am telling you the truth.
I do not rejoice to listen to the Veds and Purans in this state of spiritual ecstasy. Between me and You and between You and me, all differences have gone. To whom should I reveal this secret?
While singing the songs in praise of God, I have fully absorbed in Him. Now how shall I sing and for whom I shall sing? All my songs have finished, says Ravidass. As I have absorbed in the God.
