Bhagat Kabir Ji

The mother thinks that her son is growing up; she does not understand that, day by day, his life is diminishing.

Calling him, "Mine, mine", she fondles him lovingly, while the Messenger of Death looks on and laughs.

You have misled the world so deeply in doubt.

How can people understand You, when they are entranced by Maya? ||1||Pause

Says Kabeer, give up the pleasures of corruption, or else you will surely die of them.

Meditate on the Lord, O mortal being, through the Word of His Bani; you shall be blessed with eternal life. In this way, shall you cross over the terrifying world-ocean.

As it pleases Him, people embrace love for the Lord,

and doubt and delusion are dispelled from within.

Intuitive peace and poise well up within, and the intellect is awakened to spiritual wisdom.

Recognizing the Hukam of His Command, you shall meet with your Lord and Master. ||1||Second Pause

The mind is totally attached to Maya; the mortal has forgotten his fear of old age and death.

Listen, O religious scholar: the One Lord alone is Wondrous; no one can describe Him.

He fascinates the angels, the celestial singers and the heavenly musicians; he has strung the three worlds upon His Thread.

The Unstruck Melody of the Sovereign Lord's Harp vibrates;

by His Glance of Grace, we are lovingly attuned to the Sound-current of the Naad. ||1||Pause

The Tenth Gate of my crown chakra is the distilling fire, and the channels of the Ida and Pingala are the funnels, to pour in and empty out the golden vat.

Into that vat, there trickles a gentle stream of the most sublime and pure essence of all distilled essences.

Something wonderful has happened-the breath has become the cup.

In all the three worlds, such a Yogi is unique. What king can compare to him?

This spiritual wisdom of God, the Supreme Soul, has illuminated my being. Says Kabeer, I am attuned to His Love.
