saheb hum mein saheb tum mein jaise parana bij mein
sāheb ham meñ sāheb tum meñ jaise parānā biij meñ
mat kar bandā gumān dil meñ khoj dekh le tan meñ
koTi suur jahñ karte jhilmil niil sidh sohai gagan meñ
sab taap miT jaa.eñ dehī kai nirmal hoai baiThī jagā meñ
anhad ghanTa bajai mridiñgā tan sukh lehi piyār meñ
bin paanī laagī jahñ varshā motī dekh nadīn meñ
ek prem brahmāñD chhāy raho hai samajh birle puurā
añdh bhedī kahā samjhaige gyaan ke ghartaiñ duurā
baḌe bhaag almast rañg meñ 'kabīrā' bolai ghaT meñ
hans ubāran dukh nivāran vaavā gaman na miTai chhan meñ
The Lord is in me, the Lord is in you, as life is in every seed. O servant! Put false pride away, and seek for Him within you.
A million suns are ablaze with light.
The sea of blue spreads in the sky.
The fever of life is stilled, and all stains are washed away; when I sit in the midst of that world.
Hark to the unstruck bells and drums! Take your delight in love!
Rains pour down without water, and the rivers are streams of light.
One Love it is that pervades the whole world; few there are who know it fully:
They are blind who hope to see it by the light of reason, that reason which is the cause of separation--
The House of Reason is very far away!
How blessed is Kabir, that amidst this great joy he sings within his own vessel.
It is the music of the meeting of soul with soul;
It is the music of the forgetting of sorrows;
It is the music that transcends all coming in and all going forth.
saheb hum mein saheb tum mein jaise parana bij mein
mat kar banda guman dil mein khoj dekh le tan mein
koTi sur jahn karte jhilmil nil sidh sohai gagan mein
sab tap miT jaen dehi kai nirmal hoai baiThi jaga mein
anhad ghanTa bajai mridinga tan sukh lehi piyar mein
bin pani lagi jahn warsha moti dekh nadin mein
ek prem brahmanD chhay raho hai samajh birle pura
andh bhedi kaha samjhaige gyan ke ghartain dura
baDe bhag almast rang mein 'kabira' bolai ghaT mein
hans ubaran dukh niwaran wawa gaman na miTai chhan mein
