tarwar ek mul bin ThaDha bin phule phal lage
tarvar ek muul bin ThāḌhā bin phūle phal laage
sākh-patr kachhu nahi taake sakal kamal-dal gājai
chaḌh tarvar do panchhī bole ek gurū ek chelā
chelā rahā so ras chun khāyā gurū nirantar khelā
panchhī ke khoj aagam pargaT kahae 'kabīr' baḌī bhārī
sab hī mūrat beach amūrt mūrat kī balihārī
There is a strange tree, which stands without roots and bears fruits without blossoming;
It has no branches and no leaves, it is lotus all over.
Two birds sing there; one is the Guru, and the other the disciple:
The disciple chooses the manifold fruits of life and tastes them, and the Guru beholds him in joy.
What Kabir says is hard to understand: The bird is beyond seeking, yet it is most clearly visible. The Formless is in the midst of all forms. I sing the glory of forms.
