torā hiirā hirā.il bā kichaḌe meñ
koī DhūñDhe pūrab koī koī DhūñDhe pashchim
koī DhūñDhe pānī-pathare meñ
daas 'kabīr' ye hiirā ko parakhaiñ
bāñdh lihalai jiyarā ke añdhre meñ
The jewel is lost in the mud, and all are seeking for it;
Some look for it in the east, and some in the west; some in the water and some amongst stones.
But the servant Kabir has appraised it at its true value, and has wrapped it with care in the end of the mantle of his heart.
tora hira hirail ba kichaDe mein
koi DhunDhe purab koi koi DhunDhe pashchim
koi DhunDhe pani-pathare mein
das 'kabir' ye hira ko parakhain
bandh lihalai jiyara ke andhre mein
The jewel is lost in the mud, and all are seeking for it;
Some look for it in the east, and some in the west; some in the water and some amongst stones.
But the servant Kabir has appraised it at its true value, and has wrapped it with care in the end of the mantle of his heart.
