Lobhe Pap Jani

Composed on Dec. 31st, 1974

Lyrics:

Lobhe pap jani
  Pape je maran hai
Tabu kena daki
  Lobhe pran anginai
Din haye chira sukhi
  Nai jar lobh
Tyag majhe kabhu
  Nahi raje kona khobh

Translation:

Greed begets sin;
Sin begets death.
I know this; yet I allow
Greed to enter into my heart’s core.
He is happy, really happy,
Who has conquered his outer greed,
Although he poverty-stricken.
He is really happy
Who becomes the God-message
     of self-sacrifice.
