Sant Kabir
| प्रहलाद पठाए पड़न साल ॥ | Prahlaad was sent to school |
| संगि सखा बहु लीए बाल | He took many of his friends along with him |
| मो कउ कहा पड़्हावसि आल जाल | He asked his teacher, "Why do you teach me about worldly affairs? |
| मेरी पटीआ लिखि देहु स्री गोपाल | Write the Name of the Dear Lord on my tablet |
| नही छोडउ रे बाबा राम नाम ॥ | O Baba, I will not forsake the Name of the Lord. |
| मेरो अउर पड़्हन सिउ नही कामु ॥१॥ | I will not bother with any other lessons |
| संडै मरकै कहिओ जाइ ॥ | Sanda and Marka went to the king to complain |
| प्रहलाद बुलाए बेगि धाइ ॥ | He sent for Prahlaad to come at once |
| तू राम कहन की छोडु बानि ॥ | He said to him, "Stop uttering the Lord's Name |
| तुझु तुरतु छडाऊ मेरो कहिओ मानि ॥२॥ | I shall release you at once, if you obey my words |
| मो कउ कहा सतावहु बार बार ॥ | Prahlaad answered, "Why do you annoy me, over and over again? |
| प्रभि जल थल गिरि कीए पहार ॥ | God created the water, land, hills and mountains. |
| इकु रामु न छोडउ गुरहि गारि ॥ | I shall not forsake the One Lord Rama; if I did, I would be going against my Guru. |
| मो कउ घालि जारि भावै मारि डारि ॥३॥ | You might as well throw me into the fire and kill me |
| काढि खड़गु कोपिओ रिसाइ ॥ | The king became angry and drew his sword |
| तुझ राखनहारो मोहि बताइ ॥ | Show me your protector now! |
| प्रभ थ्मभ ते निकसे कै बिसथार ॥ | So God emerged out of the pillar, and assumed a mighty form |
| हरनाखसु छेदिओ नख बिदार ॥४॥ | He killed Harnaakhash, tearing him apart with his nails |
| ओइ परम पुरख देवाधि देव ॥ | The Supreme Lord God, the Divinity of the divine, |
| भगति हेति नरसिंघ भेव ॥ | For the sake of His devotee, assumed the form of the man-lion. |
| कहि कबीर को लखै न पार ॥ | Says Kabeer, no one can know the Lord's limits |
| प्रहलाद उधारे अनिक बार ॥५॥४॥ | He saves His devotees like Prahlaad over and over again |
