sadho braham alakh lakhaya jab aap aap darsaya
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 hī
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
