## Original text

भजन बिन जीवत जैसें प्रेत ॥ मनमलीन घरघर प्रति डोलत उदर भरनके हेत ॥१॥ कबहूँ पावत पापको पैसा गाड धूरमें देत ॥ सेवा नहीं गोविंदचंदकी भवन नीलको खेत ॥२॥ मुख कटुवचन करत परनिंदा संतनकुं दुखदेत ॥ सूरदास बहुत कहाकहूँ डुबे कुटुंबसमेत ॥३॥

## English meaning

भजन बिन जीवत | Bhajan Bin Jivat

(राग बिहाग | Raga Bihag)

भजन बिन जीवत जैसें प्रेत ॥ मनमलीन घरघर प्रति डोलत उदर भरनके हेत ॥१॥  
Without bhajan, one lives like a wandering spirit. With an impure mind, one goes from house to house merely to fill the stomach. ॥१॥

कबहूँ पावत पापको पैसा गाड धूरमें देत ॥ सेवा नहीं गोविंदचंदकी भवन नीलको खेत ॥२॥  
At times one earns money through sinful means and buries it in the dust. There is no seva of Govindchand; the household has become like a field of indigo. ॥२॥

मुख कटुवचन करत परनिंदा संतनकुं दुखदेत ॥ सूरदास बहुत कहाकहूँ डुबे कुटुंबसमेत ॥३॥  
The mouth speaks harsh words and slanders others, causing pain to saints. Surdas says: what more can I say? Such a person sinks together with the whole family. ॥३॥
