avadū bhūle ko ghar lāvai
so jan ham ko bhāvai
ghar meñ jog bhog ghar hī meñ ghar taj ban nahiñ jāvai
ghar meñ jukt-mukt ghar hī meñ jo gurū alakh lakhāvai
sahj sunn meñ rahai samānā sahj samādhi lagāvai
unmani rahi barahmā ko chīnahai param tatv ko dhyāvai
surat-nirat soñ melā kar ke anhad naad bajāvai
ghar meñ basat bastu bhī ghar hai ghar hī bastu bilavai
kahaiñ 'kabīr' suno ho sādhu jyoñ-kā-tyoñ Thahrāvai
He is dear to me indeed who can call back the wanderer to his home. In the home is the true union; in the home is enjoyment of life: why should I forsake my home and wander in the forest?
If Brahma helps me to realize truth, verily I will find both bondage and deliverance in home.
He is dear to me indeed who has power to dive deep into Brahma; whose mind loses itself with ease in His contemplation. He is dear to me who knows Brahma, and can dwell on His supreme truth in meditation; and who can play the melody of the Infinite by uniting love and renunciation in life.
Kabir says: “The home is the abiding place; in the home is reality; the home helps to attain Him Who is real. So stay where you are, and all things shall come to you in time.”
awadu bhule ko ghar lawai
so jan hum ko bhawai
ghar mein jog bhog ghar hi mein ghar taj ban nahin jawai
ghar mein jukt-mukt ghar hi mein jo guru alakh lakhawai
sahj sunn mein rahai samana sahj samadhi lagawai
unmani rahi barahma ko chinahai param tatw ko dhyawai
surat-nirat son mela kar ke anhad nad bajawai
ghar mein basat bastu bhi ghar hai ghar hi bastu bilawai
kahain 'kabir' suno ho sadhu jyon-ka-tyon Thahrawai
