Sanskrit Original
बिनु संतोष न काम नसाहीं। काम अछत सुख सपनेहुँ नाहीं।। राम भजन बिनु मिटहिं कि कामा। थल बिहीन तरु कबहुँ कि जामा।। बिनु बिग्यान कि समता आवइ। कोउ अवकास कि नभ बिनु पावइ।। श्रद्धा बिना धर्म नहिं होई। बिनु महि गंध कि पावइ कोई।। बिनु तप तेज कि कर बिस्तारा। जल बिनु रस कि होइ संसारा।। सील कि मिल बिनु बुध सेवकाई। जिमि बिनु तेज न रूप गोसाई।। निज सुख बिनु मन होइ कि थीरा। परस कि होइ बिहीन समीरा।। कवनिउ सिद्धि कि बिनु बिस्वासा। बिनु हरि भजन न भव भय नासा।।
binu saṃtōṣa na kāma nasāhīṃ. kāma achata sukha sapanēhu nāhīṃ.. rāma bhajana binu miṭahiṃ ki kāmā. thala bihīna taru kabahu ki jāmā.. binu bigyāna ki samatā āvai. kōu avakāsa ki nabha binu pāvai.. śraddhā binā dharma nahiṃ hōī. binu mahi gaṃdha ki pāvai kōī.. binu tapa tēja ki kara bistārā. jala binu rasa ki hōi saṃsārā.. sīla ki mila binu budha sēvakāī. jimi binu tēja na rūpa gōsāī.. nija sukha binu mana hōi ki thīrā. parasa ki hōi bihīna samīrā.. kavaniu siddhi ki binu bisvāsā. binu hari bhajana na bhava bhaya nāsā..
Without content desire cannot cease; and so long as desire continues you can never dream of happiness. Again, can desire be got rid of without adoring Sri Rama? Can a tree ever take root without soil? Can even-mindedness be acquired without spiritual enlightenment? Can anyone get moving space without ether? There can be no piety without faith. Can anyone get odour except from the earth and spread one's glory except through austere penance? Can there be any taste in this world without water? Can virtue be acquired without waiting upon the wise, any more than colour can exist without the element of fire, my master? Can the mind be at rest without experiencing the joy inherent in one's own self? Can there be any sensation of touch without air, and any success without faith? In a like manner the fear of rebirth can never cease except through worship of Sri Hari.
