MORE BYKabir

    jaane sāhab kaisā hai

    mullā ho kar baañg jo deve

    kyā terā sāhab bahrā hai

    kiiḌī ke pag ne.ur baaje

    so bhī sāhab suntā hai

    maalā pherī tilak lagāyā

    lambā jaTā baḌhātā hai

    antar tere kuphar-kaTārī

    yo nahi sāhab miltā hai

    I do not know what manner of God is mine.

    The Mullah cries aloud to Him: and why? Is your Lord deaf? The subtle anklets that ring on the feet of an insect when it moves are heard of Him.

    Tell your beads, paint your forehead with the mark of your God, and wear matted locks long and showy: but a deadly weapon is in your heart, and how shall you have God?

    na jaane sahab kaisa hai

    mulla ho kar bang jo dewe

    kya tera sahab bahra hai

    kiDi ke pag neur baje

    so bhi sahab sunta hai

    mala pheri tilak lagaya

    lamba jaTa baDhata hai

    antar tere kuphar-kaTari

    yo nahi sahab milta hai
