MORE BYKabir

    sādho shabd sādhnā kījai

    jo shabdte pargaT bhaye sab soī shabd gahī lījai

    shabd gurū shabd sun sikh bhaye shabd so birlā būjhai

    soī shishy soī gurū mahātam jehi antar gati sūjhai

    shabdai ved-purān kahat hai shabd shabdai sab Thahrāvai

    shabdai sur muni sant kahat hai shabd bhed nahi pāvai

    shabdai sun sun bhesh dharat hai shabdai kahae anurāgī

    shaT-darshan sab shabd kahat hai shabd kahe bairāgī

    shabdai kaayā jag utpātī shabdai keri pasārā

    kahae 'kabīr' jahñ shabd hot hai bhavan bhed hai nyārā

    Receive that Word from which the Universe springeth!

    That word is the Guru; I have heard it, and become the disciple.

    How many are there who know the meaning of that word?

    O Sadhu! practise that Word!

    The Vedas and the Puranas proclaim it.

    The world is established in it,

    The Rishis and devotees speak of it:

    But none knows the mystery of the Word.

    The householder leaves his house when he hears it.

    The ascetic comes back to love when he hears it.

    The Six Philosophies expound it,

    The Spirit of Renunciation points to that Word,

    From that Word the world- form has sprung.

    That Word reveals all.

    Kabir says: But who knows whence the Word cometh?

    sadho shabd sadhna kijai

    jo hi shabdte pargaT bhaye sab soi shabd gahi lijai

    shabd guru shabd sun sikh bhaye shabd so birla bujhai

    soi shishy soi guru mahatam jehi antar gati sujhai

    shabdai wed-puran kahat hai shabd shabdai sab Thahrawai

    shabdai sur muni sant kahat hai shabd bhed nahi pawai

    shabdai sun sun bhesh dharat hai shabdai kahae anuragi

    shaT-darshan sab shabd kahat hai shabd kahe bairagi

    shabdai kaya jag utpati shabdai keri pasara

    kahae 'kabir' jahn shabd hot hai bhawan bhed hai nyara
