A true devotee (ascetic) is he who is always a devotee,
Others are only the wearers of earings(a symbol of a devotee).
O devotee! The earings of gold dangle in the ears
(to make show of your being a devotee),
But a better earing (symbol of a devotee) is a (sincere) mind, O devotee!
A true devotee (ascetic) is he who is always a devotee,
Others are only the wearers of earings (a symbol of devotee).

jogi so jo jugaa jug jogi
My (sincere) mind is the earing, my body is the lake,
Within me I have applied the ash (a symbol of renouncement
of the world), i.e. I have renounced the world from within my heart, O devotee!
A true devotee (ascetic) is he who is always a devotee.

The frail body depends on the breathes (of life),
It is like the water filled in an earthen vessel, O devotee!
A true devotee (ascetic) is he who is always a devotee.

When the vessel breaks all the water will flow away
This body has done nothing, O devotee!
A true devotee (ascetic) is he who is always a devotee.

The time has come when you must destroy all sins, O devotee!

(heart of a devotee), he is a devotee who faces the time
(i.e., he who is aware of the short span of life), O devotee!
