timir sanjh ka gahira aawai chhawai prem man-tan mein
timir sāñjh kā gahirā aavai chhavai prem man-tan meñ
pachchhim dis ki khiḌkī kholo Dūbahū prem-gagan meñ
chet kañval-dal ras piyo re lahar lehu yā tan meñ
sañgh-ghaT sahnā.ī bājai sobhā siñgh mahal meñ
kahae 'kabīr' suno bhaa.ī sādho amar sāhab lakh ghaT meñ
The shadows of evening fall thick and deep, and the darkness of love envelops the body and the mind.
Open the window to the west, and be lost in the sky of love;
Drink the sweet honey that steeps the petals of the lotus of the heart.
Receive the waves in your body: what splendour is in the region of the sea!
Hark! the sounds of conches and bells are rising.
Kabir says: 11 0 brother, behold! the Lord is in this vessel of my body.

chet kanwal-dal ras piyo re lahar lehu ya tan mein
sangh-ghaT sahnai bajai sobha singh mahal mein
kahae 'kabir' suno bhai sadho amar sahab lakh ghaT mein
The shadows of evening fall thick and deep, and the darkness of love envelops the body and the mind.
Open the window to the west, and be lost in the sky of love;
Drink the sweet honey that steeps the petals of the lotus of the heart.
Receive the waves in your body: what splendour is in the region of the sea!
Hark! the sounds of conches and bells are rising.
Kabir says: 11 0 brother, behold! the Lord is in this vessel of my body.
