na main dharmi nahin adhrami na main jati na kaami ho
nā maiñ dharmī nahīñ adhramī nā maiñ jatī na kaamī ho
nā maiñ kahtā nā maiñ suntā nā maiñ sevak-svāmī ho
nā maiñ bandhā nā maiñ muktā nā maiñ birat na rañgī ho
nā kaahū se nyārā huā nā kaahū ke sañgī ho
nā ham narak-lok ko jaate nā ham surg sidhāre ho
sab hī karm hamārā kiyā ham karvan teñ nyāre ho
yā mat ko koī birlai būjhai soī aTar ho baiThe ho
mat 'kabīr' kaahū ko thāpai mat kaahū ko meTe ho
I am neither pious nor ungodly; I live neither by law nor by sense,
I am neither a speaker nor hearer,
I am neither a servant nor master,
I am neither bond nor free,
I am neither detached nor attached.
I am far from none: I am near to none.
I shall go neither to hell nor to heaven.
I do all works; yet I am apart from all works.
Few comprehend my meaning: he who can comprehend it, he sits unmoved.
Kabir seeks neither to establish nor to destroy.
na main dharmi nahin adhrami na main jati na kaami ho
na main kahta na main sunta na main sewak-swami ho
na main bandha na main mukta na main birat na rangi ho
na kahu se nyara hua na kahu ke sangi ho
na hum narak-lok ko jate na hum surg sidhaare ho
sab hi karm hamara kiya hum karwan ten nyare ho
ya mat ko koi birlai bujhai soi aTar ho baiThe ho
mat 'kabir' kahu ko thapai mat kahu ko meTe ho
I am neither pious nor ungodly; I live neither by law nor by sense,
I am neither a speaker nor hearer,
I am neither a servant nor master,
I am neither bond nor free,
I am neither detached nor attached.
I am far from none: I am near to none.
I shall go neither to hell nor to heaven.
I do all works; yet I am apart from all works.
Few comprehend my meaning: he who can comprehend it, he sits unmoved.
Kabir seeks neither to establish nor to destroy.
