sanskirat bhasha padhi linha gyani lok kaho rahi
sanskirat bhāshā padhi līnhā gyānī lok kaho rahī
āsā-tirisnā meñ bahi gayo sajnī kaam ke taap saho rahī
maan manī kī maTukī sir par nāhak bojh maro rahī
maTukī paTak milo pītam se sāheb 'kabīr' kaho rī
I have learned the Sanskrit language, so let all men call me wise:
But where is the use of this. When I am floating adrift, and parched with thirst, and burning with the heat of desire?
To no purpose do you bear on your head this load of pride and vanity
Kabir says: Lay it down in the dust, and go forth to meet the Beloved. Address Him as your Lord.

man mani ki maTuki sir par nahak bojh maro rahi
