sādh-sa.gat pītam uhaañ thal jā.iye
bhāv-bhaktī updesh tahāñ te pā۔iye
sañgat hī jari jaav na charachā naam kī
dūlhan binā barāt kaho kis kaam kī
duniyā ko kar duur pītam ko dhyā.iye
aan dev kī save na chitt lagā.iey
aan dev kī seb bhalī nahi jiiv ko
kahae 'kabīr' vichār na pāvai piiv ko
Go thou to the company of the good, where the Beloved One has His dwelling place:
Take all thy thoughts and love and instruction from thence.
Let that assembly be burnt to ashes where His Name is not spoken!
Tell me, how couldst thou hold a wedding-feast, if the bridegroom himself were not there?
Waver no more; think only of the Beloved;
Set not thy heart on the worship of other gods, there is no worth in the worship of other masters.
Kabir deliberates and says: Thus thou shalt never find the Beloved!
sadh-sagat pitam uhan thal jaiye
bhaw-bhakti updesh tahan te pa۔iye
sangat hi jari jaw na characha nam ki
dulhan bina baraat kaho kis kaam ki
duniya ko kar dur pitam ko dhyaiye
aan dew ki sawe na chitt lagaiey
aan dew ki seb bhali nahi jiw ko
kahae 'kabir' wichaar na pawai piw ko

Take all thy thoughts and love and instruction from thence.
Let that assembly be burnt to ashes where His Name is not spoken!
Tell me, how couldst thou hold a wedding-feast, if the bridegroom himself were not there?
Waver no more; think only of the Beloved;
Set not thy heart on the worship of other gods, there is no worth in the worship of other masters.
