Iko noor hai sabh de andar nar hai chahe nari ey; Brahaman khatri vaish harijan ik di khalqat sari ey; Deh sabhnan di iko jehi iko rab sanwari ey; Zat pat de jhagde kahde kahdi lokachari ey. Hindu , muslim, sikh ,isai iko rab de bande ne; Bande samjh ke piar hai karna change bhaven mande ne. Je sabhnan vich iko rab ey kaun bura te kaun ey changa jiven gandgi mil ganga vich ho jandi ey ap vi ganga. Sabh noon iko jiha jaan ke man di akad bhannani toon. Kahe avtar ih dooja pran ey varan zat nahin mannani toon |

The same divine spirit permeates all, whether man or women; A Brahman , Kshatriya, Vaish or a Harijan, all the people belong to the One – God. All have the same physical structure carved by the same Almighty – God. Then , why should there be wrangles of caste and creed , where is the need to appease the People? Hindus, Muslim, Sikhs , Christians , all belong to one God ; You should love them all as human beings whether they are good or bad. When the same God dwells in all then who is bad who is good? Just as the filth that immerses in the Ganges becomes the Ganges itself. Treat all human beings alike and shed your vanity; Avtar says , the second pledge is not to believe in caste and social divisions. |
Meaning
The same divine spirit is present in every human being, male or female; May be a Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaish or Sudra [by caste], all are the creation of the One - God. All have a similar human body, carved (shaped) by the same Almighty; 
then why should there be disputes of caste and creed; and where is the need to calm down the people? Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians, all are the children of one God. You should love them all as human beings, whether they are good or bad. When the same spirit of God is present in all, then who is good and who is bad? Just as the dirt that submerged in The Ganga becomes Ganga itself. You must treat all human beings alike, and shed your ego and pride. Avtar says, the second pledge is not to believe in caste, creed and social divisions.
