ઉંચમાં રામ બમણો નથી ભર્યો
કીચ પિંડ ઠાલો નથી કર્યો;
In the exalted, Ram is not doubly filled,Nor is the earthly form rendered empty.
Ram is not doubly filled in the exalted, nor is the earthly body left empty.

Says Akho, I babbled in a dream,As things are, I could not truly deem.

જાણપણમાં જાડા થયા
ડહાપણ ડોળી રાબડ રહ્યા;
They grew thick within their knowing, spilling wisdom, only gruel remains;
They became rigid and overconfident in their knowledge, scattering their wisdom and ultimately retaining only a tasteless, basic essence.
