prashn:
'kabīr' kab se bhaye bairāgī
tumharī sūrati kahāñ ko laagī
uttar:
ba.ī chitrā kā melā nahīñ nahīñ gurū nahiñ chelā
sakal pasārā jin din nahīñ jihi din purūsh akelā
gorakh ham tabke ahai bairāgī
hamrī surti braham so laagī
braham nahi jab Topī dīnhi bisnu nahīñ jab Tiikā
siv-shaktī kai janmau nahīñ tabai jog ham sīkhā
kaasī meñ ham pargaT bhaye hai rāmā-nand chetāy
pyaas anhad kī saath ham laa.e milan karne ko aa.e
sahjai sahjai melā hoigā jaagī bhakti utañgā
kahae 'kabīr' suno ho gorakh chalo giit ke sañg
Gorakhnath asks Kabir:
Tell me, O Kabir, when did your vocation begin? Where did your love have its rise?
Kabir answers: When He whose forms are manifold had not begun His play: when there was no Guru, and no disciple: when the world was not spread out: when the
Supreme One was alone--
Then I became an ascetic; then, O Gorakh, my love was drawn to Brahma.
Brahma did not hold the crown on his head; the god Vishnu was not anointed as king; the power of Shiva was still unborn; when I was instructed in Yoga.
I became suddenly revealed in Benares, and Ramananda illumined me; I brought with me the thirst for the Infinite, and I have come for the meeting with Him.
In simplicity will I unite with the Simple One; my love will surge up.
O Gorakh, march thou with His music!
prashn:
'kabir' kab se bhaye bairagi
tumhari surati kahan ko lagi
uttar:
bai chitra ka mela nahin nahin guru nahin chela
sakal pasara jin din nahin jihi din purush akela
gorakh hum tabke ahai bairagi
hamri surti braham so lagi
braham nahi jab Topi dinhi bisnu nahin jab Tika
siw-shakti kai janmau nahin tabai jog hum sikha
kasi mein hum pargaT bhaye hai rama-nand chetay
pyas anhad ki sath hum lae milan karne ko aae
sahjai sahjai mela hoiga jagi bhakti utanga
kahae 'kabir' suno ho gorakh chalo git ke sang
