(Kavitt)
Isht Hi Ke Rang Raanchai, Isht Hi Ki Kripa Jaanchai,
Isht Bina Aur Nahin Jaake Hiy Vaasna. [1]
Isht Hi Kou Gaavai Jas, Bhaavai Isht Hi Kou Ras,
Isht Bina Kaahu Ki Ju Raakhai Man Aasna. [2]
Isht Hi Te Paavai Maan, Isht Bal Balvaan,
Isht Bina Chaahai Man Kahoon Kou Nikasna. [3]
Ras Rupi Isht Dhaam, Taahi Mein Atal Vaas,
Yaahi Kou Rasik Kahain Sudridh Upasna. [4]
- Shri Lal Swami
One who is immersed in the hue of love of His beloved deity (Iṣṭa), seeks only the grace of His beloved deity, and whose heart harbors no other desires apart from His beloved. [1]

One who is immersed in the hue of love of His beloved deity (Iṣṭa), seeks only the grace of His beloved deity, and whose heart harbors no other desires apart from His beloved. [1]
One who always sings the glories of His beloved deity, who cherishes the nectar of His beloved deity alone, with no hopes or expectations from anyone else except His beloved deity. [2]
One whose honor comes from His beloved deity, who draws strength solely from His beloved deity, and whose mind does not settle anywhere other than with His beloved deity. [3]
One whose steadfast residence is in the nectar‑like abode of His beloved deity; this is what rasikas (connoisseurs) refer to as steadfast devotion to His worshipful deity. [4]
