कर ले भजन कमाई, क्या है भरोसा इस देह का॥
स्वांस पवन का अंदर-अंदर-बाहर, रहता आना-जाना।
बाहर का बाहर रह जावे, अंदर नहीं ठिकाना ॥
काया किस काम आई, क्या है भरोसा इस देह का॥
स्वारथ वाले हैं जग वाले, जा शमसान जलावें।
हंस बिचारा जाय अकेला, कोई साथ नहीं जावे ॥
प्रीति किसने निभाई, क्या है भरोसा इस देह का ॥
अपनी करनी से पावेगा, योनि लख चौरासी।
हर योनि में भोग मिलेंगे, मिले नहीं अविनाशी ॥
नाहक उमर गंवाई, क्या है भरोसा इस देह का॥
करी कमाई खो दई सारी, अपना आपा भूला।
मोह-माया की बांध गाठरी, धन-दौलत पै फूला ॥
तेरी कोन्या भलाई, क्या है भरोसा इस देह का॥
सतगरु का ले नाम, ध्यान सुमिरण हर स्वांस किये जा।
मानुष देह मिली है तुझको, इसको सफल किये जा॥
तेरी इसी में भलाई, क्या है भरोसा इस देह का॥
