A bond that cannot be broken

Unit 27 of 40 · printed source page 22

Original · Devanagari

सुन री इश्क नहीं जोरना, जुरि जाय तो फिर नाहीं तोरना। कुल लाज काज उड़ाइ दे, प्यारे सों प्यार बढ़ाइये॥ मन प्राण तन धन वारिये, लाल को रूप निहारिये। कृपानिवासी बलिये, नयनों सों दूर न डारिये॥ २ ॥ २७ ॥

Fresh English translation

Listen: love cannot be forced, but once it joins, it must never be broken. Let family honor and worldly business fly away; increase your love for the Beloved. Offer mind, life, body, and wealth, and keep gazing upon the Darling's form. Kripanivasa gives himself in sacrifice: never cast that form away from your eyes.
