sādho ko hai kañh se aayo
tohi ke man dhauñ kahāñ basat hai ko dhauñ naach nachāyo
pāvak sarv añg kāThahī meñ dhauñ Dahak jagāyo
ho gayā khaak tej puni vā ko kahu dhauñ kahāñ smāyo
ahai apaar paar kachhu naahī satgurū jinhai lakhāyo
kahaiñ 'kabīr' johi sūjh-būjh jas ta.ī tas aaj sunāyo
Who are you, and whence do you come?
Where dwells that Supreme Spirit, and how does He have His sport with all created things?
The fire is in the wood; but who awakens it suddenly? Then it turns to ashes, and where goes the force of the fire?
The true guru teaches that He has neither limit nor infinitude.
Kabir says: Brahma suits His language to the understanding of His hearer.
sadho ko hai kanh se aayo
tohi ke man dhaun kahan basat hai ko dhaun nach nachayo
pawak sarw ang kaThahi mein dhaun Dahak jagayo
ho gaya khak tej puni wa ko kahu dhaun kahan smayo
ahai apar par kachhu nahi satguru jinhai lakhayo
kahain 'kabir' johi sujh-bujh jas tai tas aaj sunayo
