Lobhe Pap Jani

```

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 is poverty-stricken.

He is really happy

Who becomes the God-message

of self-sacrifice.

```
