સાધુ કી સંગત પાઇ રે, જા કી સુફલ કમાઇ;
સાધુ કી સંગત ભક્તિ હરિકી, બઢત બઢત બઢ જાઇ ... ટેક
sādhu ki saňgat pā-ii re, jā ki sufal kamā-ii;
sādhu ki saňgat bhakti hari-ki, baDhat baDhat baDha jā-ii ... repeat

ધ્રુવ પ્રહ્લાદ અંબરીષ વિભિષણ, નારદ છે ઋષિરાઇ;
પીપા ધના સેના રોહીદાસ, પાંચમી મીરાંબાઇ ... ૧
dhruv prah-lād amb-rish vibhi-shan, nārad chhe rushi-rā-ii;
pipā dhanā senā rohi-dās, pāňchami mirā-bā-ii ... 1

નરસિંહ જયદેવ ઔર સૂરદાસ, સજના જાત કસાઇ;
રંકા વંકા કાલૂ કેવલ કૂબા, કરમા કી ખીચડી પાઇ ... ૨
nar-siňh jay-dev a-u-ra sur-dās, sajanā jāt kasā-ii;
raňkā vaňkā kālu keval kubā, karamā ki khichadi pā-ii ... 2

દત્તાત્રેય ગુરુ ગોરખ યોગી, ગગન મંડલ મઠ છાઇ;
કહેત કબીર સુનો ભાઇ સાધુ, જ્યોતમેં જ્યોત મિલાઇ ... ૩
dat-tā-trey guru gorakh yogi, gagan maňdal math chhā-ii;
kahet kabir suno bhā-ii sādhu, jyot-meň jyot milā-ii ... 3

English Translation:
0. Kabir truly says, being in company of saintly being is in fact a fruitful earning. This earning is unique in a sense that it goes on growing leaps and bounds in the form of god’s grace attained through saintly company.

1. Dhruv, Prahlad, Ambarish, Vibhishan, and Narad attained place in spiritual realm. And so do Pipa, Dhana Bhagat and the cobbler Rohidas, while Meerabai too, found a place in divine realm.

2. Saints like Narsinh, Jaidev and Surdas, also the butcher Sajana were poor, physically handicapped, ugly looking and lived in dilapidated huts. Yet God driven by true dedication and devout love ate Khichadi at the place of Karma Bhagat.

3. Lastly, Kabir calls upon all of us and exhorts that, all the saints and sages from Dattatreya, Guru Gorakhnath have made it to the heavenly realm and at the same time Kabir says that all these have strived to keep burning the flame of spiritual pursuit.
