(Kavitt)
Ab Tau Badnaam Bhaee Aali Braj Mandal Mein,
Laaj Guru Logan Ki Kho Gayi Sukho Gayi. [1]
Nanad Jithani Satarani Itarani Rahin,
Saasu Katu Baat Kahe So Gayi Su So Gayi. [2]
Bhane Balbir Hum Neeti Na Aniti Janein,
Prem Roopi Beli Yeh Bo Gayi Su Bo Gayi. [3]
Samarai Salon Chhabi Kaisen Ke Bisaari Jaay,
Daasi Man Mohan Ki Ho Gayi Su Ho Gayi. [4]
- Shri Lal Balbir Ji, Braj Binod, Prem Pachhasa (41)
O friend, I’ve become dishonored in the land of Braj, losing the respect of elders and masters. Even if the Gurus are upset, it’s of no concern to me. [1]

Now, my sister‑in‑laws and others remain agitated, and even my mother‑in‑law speaks harshly; yet, I am unmoved by their words. [2]
Śrī Balbir Dās Jī says, now I am unconcerned about what is right or wrong, for the vine of love has firmly rooted itself in my heart, surpassing all else. [3]
How could I ever forget the dark, enchanting form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa? I have now become His devotee, and that is all that matters to me. [4]
