sadho braham alakh lakhaya jab aap aap darsaya

Kabir

sādho braham alakh lakhāyā jab aap aap darsāyā

bīj-maddh jayo brichchhā darsai brichchhaā maddhe chhāyā

jayo nabh-maddhe sunn dekhiye sunn anant ākārā

nih-achchharte achchhar taise achchhar chhar bistārā

jayo ravī-maddhe kiran dekhiye kiran-maddhe paragāsā

parmātam meñ jiiv braham imī jīv-maddh timi svāñsā

svāñs-maddhe shabd dekhiye arth shabd ke māñhīñ

brahte jiiv jīvate man yoñ nyārā milā sadā

aaphi virchchh biij añkurā aap phūl-phal chhāyā

aaphi suur kiran parkāsā aap braham jiiu maayā

anant-kār sunn nam aapae man jiiv braham samāyā

aatam meñ parmātam darsai parmātam meñ jhāñīñ

jhāñīñ meñ parchhā.ī darsai lakhai 'kabīrā' sā.īñ

When He Himself reveals Himself, Brahma brings into manifestation That which can never be seen.

As the seed is in the plant, as the shade is in the tree, as the void is in the sky, as infinite forms are in the void--

So from beyond the Infinite, the Infinite comes; and from the Infinite the finite extends.

The creature is in Brahma, and Brahma is in the creature they are ever distinct, yet ever united.

He Himself is the tree, the seed, and the germ.

He Himself is the flower, the fruit, and the shade.

He Himself is the sun, the light, and the lighted.

He Himself is Brahma, creature, and Maya.

He Himself is the manifold form, the infinite space;

He is the breath, the word, and the meaning.

He Himself is the limit and the limitless: and beyond both the limited and the limitless is He, the Pure Being.

He is the Immanent Mind in Brahma and in the creature.

The Supreme Soul is seen within the soul.

The Point is seen within the Supreme Soul,

And within the Point, the reflection is seen again.

Kabir is blest because he has this supreme vision!

sadho braham alakh lakhaya jab aap aap darsaya

bij-maddh jayo brichchha darsai brichchhaa maddhe chhaya

jayo nabh-maddhe sunn dekhiye sunn anant aakara

nih-achchharte achchhar taise achchhar chhar bistara

jayo rawi-maddhe kiran dekhiye kiran-maddhe paragasa

parmatam mein jiw braham imi jiw-maddh timi swansa

swans-maddhe shabd dekhiye arth shabd ke manhin

brahte jiw jiwate man yon nyara mila sada hi

aaphi wirchchh bij ankura aap phul-phal chhaya

aaphi sur kiran parkasa aap braham jiu maya

anant-kar sunn nam aapae man jiw braham samaya

aatam mein parmatam darsai parmatam mein jhanin

jhanin mein parchhai darsai lakhai 'kabira' sain
