charakhā chalai surat birahin kā
kaayā nagrī banī ati-sundar mahal banā chetan kā
surat bhāñvrī hot gagan meñ pīḌhā gyān-ratan kā
mihīn suut birahin kātaiñ māñjhā parem-bhagati kā
kahaiñ 'kabīr' suno bhaa.ī sādho maalā guñtho din rain kā
piyā mor aihaiñ pagā rakhihaiñ aañsu bheT dehauñ nain kā
The woman who is parted from her lover spins at the spinning wheel.
The city of the body arises in its beauty; and within it the palace of the mind has been built.
The wheel of love revolves in the sky, and the seat is made of the jewels of knowledge:
What subtle threads the woman weaves, and makes them fine with love and reverence!
Kabir says: I am weaving the garland of day and night. When my Lover comes and touches me with His feet, I shall offer Him my tears.

kaya nagri bani ati-sundar mahal bana chetan ka
surat bhanwri hot gagan mein piDha gyan-ratan ka
mihin sut birahin katain manjha parem-bhagati ka
kahain 'kabir' suno bhai sadho mala guntho din rain ka
piya mor aihain paga rakhihain aansu bheT dehaun nain ka
