I am not afraid of losing my life, I am afraid of losing your love - Bhagat Ravidas

I am afraid of losing your love

Prosperity property and wealth are Maya

Your servant's heart doesn't dwell on those

My heart's home is in your lotus feet

Drinking its wash is God's wealth

I am tied by your love's rope

What is the benefit of escaping?
