jahn chet-achet khambh dau man rachya hai hinDor
jahñ chet-achet khambh da.ū man rachyā hai hinDor
tañh jhūlaiñ jiiv jahāñ jahñ kahtuñ nahi chir Thaur
aur chand suur do.au jhūlai nahīñ pāvai ant
chaurāsī lachchhahū jiv jhūlai jhūlai ravi sasi dhaay
koTin kalp jug bītiyā aane na kabhuñ haaye
chaturāñ jhūlai chaturā.iyāñ aur jhūle raajā save
aur chand suur da.ū jhūlai nahīñ pāvaiñ bhev
dharnī akāsahū da.ū jhūlai jhūlai pavanhu niir
dhari deh hari āpahu jhūlaiñ jo lakhahiñ daas 'kabīr'
Between the poles of the conscious and the unconscious, there has the mind made a swing:
Thereon hang all beings and all worlds, and that swing never ceases its sway.
Millions of beings are there: the sun and the moon in their courses are there:
Millions of ages pass, and the swing goes on.
All swing! the sky and the earth and the air and the water; and the Lord Himself taking form:
And the sight of this has made ‘Kabir’ a servant.
jahn chet-achet khambh dau man rachya hai hinDor
tanh jhulain jiw jahan jahn kahtun nahi chir Thaur
aur chand sur doau jhulai nahin pawai ant
chaurasi lachchhahu jiw jhulai jhulai rawi sasi dhay
koTin kalp jug bitiya aane na kabhun haye
chaturan jhulai chaturaiyan aur jhule raja sawe
aur chand sur dau jhulai nahin pawain bhew
dharni akasahu dau jhulai jhulai pawanhu nir
dhari deh hari aapahu jhulain jo lakhahin das 'kabir'
