જાત નહીં જગદીશકુ, તો હરિજનકુ કયા હોય;

jāta nahīṁ jagadīśaku, tō harijanaku kayā hōya;

Literally
The Lord of the universe has no caste, so how can His devotee have one;
What it means
Spiritual devotion transcends all social divisions, and true seekers of God should not be judged by their caste or lineage.
