teeratha ko saba phire deva poojaa kare
vaasanaa naa mare kaise ke bhava tare |
kaayaa dhuve paaka kabahUM nahee mana paaka
manaraMga kee aasa nita rahe charana meM ||
Devnagri
तीरथ को सब फिरे देव पूजा करे
वासना ना मरे कैसे के भव तरे ।
काया धुवे पाक कबहूं नही मन पाक
मनरंग की आस नित रहे चरन में ॥
Meaning
People take on pilgrimages, worship deities, But do not let go of their materialistic needs, and how do they expect to cross this ocean of life. People try to keep themselves pure by washing one\'s physical self, but their mind is still impure. The composer Manrang (Bhupat Khan) goes onto imply that all this can be remedied by just serving at the feet of the lord everyday, with pure thoughts and deeds.
