santo sahj samādhi bhalī
sā.īñ te milan bhayo jā din te surat na ant chalī
aañkh na mūñdūñ kaan na rūdhūñ kaayā kashT na dhārūñ
khule nain maiñ hañs-hañs dekhūñ sundar ruup nihārūñ
kahūñ so naam sunūñ so sumirān jo kachhu karūñ so puujā
girah uddhyān ek sam dekhūñ bhaav miTā.ūñ duujā
jañh-jañh jā.ūñ soī pakiramā jo kachhu karūñ so sevā
jab so.uuñ tab karūñ danDavat pūjūñ aur na devā
shabd nirantar manuā raatā malin bachan kā tyāgī
uThat-baiThat kabhuñ na bisrai aisī taarī laagī
kahae 'kabīr' yah unmuni rahnī so pargaT kar gaa.ī
sukh-dukh ke ik pare param sukh tehi meñ rahā samā.ī
O sadhu! The simple union is the best. Since the day when I met with my Lord, there has been no end to the sport of our love.
I shut not my eyes, I close not my ears, I do not mortify my body;
I see with eyes open and smile, and behold His beauty everywhere:
I utter His Name, and whatever I see, it reminds me of Him; whatever I do., it becomes His worship.
The rising and the setting are one to me; all contradictions are solved.
Wherever I go, I move round Him,
All I achieve is His service: When I lie down, I lie prostrate at His feet.
He is the only adorable one to me: I have none other.
My tongue has left off impure words; it sings His glory day and night:
Whether I rise or sit down, I can never forget Him; for the rhythm of His music beats in my ears.
Kabir says: “My heart is frenzied, and I disclose in my soul what is hidden. I am immersed in that one great bliss which transcends all pleasure and pain.”
santo sahj samadhi bhali
sain te milan bhayo ja din te surat na ant chali
aankh na mundun kan na rudhun kaya kashT na dhaarun
khule nain main hans-hans dekhun sundar rup nihaarun
kahun so nam sunun so sumiran jo kachhu karun so puja
girah uddhyan ek sam dekhun bhaw miTaun duja
janh-janh jaun soi pakirama jo kachhu karun so sewa
jab soun tab karun danDawat pujun aur na dewa
shabd nirantar manua raata malin bachan ka tyagi
uThat-baiThat kabhun na bisrai aisi tari lagi
kahae 'kabir' yah unmuni rahni so pargaT kar gai
sukh-dukh ke ek pare param sukh tehi mein raha samai
