Aisee Vani Boliye, Mun Ka Aapa Khoye Akath Kahani Prem Ki, Kutch Kahi Na Jaye

Apna Tan Sheetal Kare, Auran Ko Sukh Hoye Goonge Keri Sarkara, Baithe Muskae
[Speak such words, sans ego's ploy [Inexpressible is the story of Love
Body remains composed, giving the listener joy] It cannot be revealed by words
Like the dumb eating sweet-meat
Only smiles, the sweetness he cannot tell]
Bada Hua To Kya Hua, Jaise Ped Khajoor Bura Jo Dekhan Main Chala, Bura Naa Milya Koye
Panthi Ko Chaya Nahin, Phal Laage Ati door Jo Dil Khoja Apnaa, To Mujhse Bura Naa Koye
[In vain is the eminence, just like a date tree [I searched for the crooked man, met not a single
No shade for travelers, fruit is hard to reach] one
Then searched myself, "I" found the crooked one]
Chalti Chakki Dekh Kar, Diya Kabira Roye Chinta Aisee Dakini, Kat Kaleja Khaye
Do Paatan Ke Beech Mein,Sabut Bacha Na koi..kabira Vaid Bichara Kya Kare, Kahan Tak Dawa Lagaye
[Looking at the grinding stones, Kabir laments [Worry is the bandit that eats into one's heart
In the duel of wheels, nothing stays intact.] What the doctor can do, what remedy to impart?]
Dheere Dheere Re Mana, Dheere Sub Kutch Hoye Dukh Mein Simran Sab Kare, Sukh Mein Kare Na
Mali Seenche So Ghara, Ritu Aaye Phal Hoye Koye
[Slowly slowly O mind, everything in own pace happens Jo Sukh Mein Simran Kare, Dukh Kahe Ko
The gardiner may water with a hundred buckets, fruit Hoye..Kabira
arrives only in its season] [In anguish everyone prays to Him, in joy does none
To One who prays in happiness, how sorrow can
come]
Gur Dhobi Sikh Kapda, Saboo Sirjan Har
Surti Sila Pur Dhoiye, Nikse Jyoti Apaar
[Guru the washer man, disciple is the cloth
The name of God liken to the soap
Wash the mind on foundation firm
To realize the glow of Truth]
Jaati na poocho saadhu ki, pooch lijiye gyaan Jab Tun Aaya Jagat Mein, Log Hanse Tu Roye
Mol karo talwar ki padi rehen do miyaan. Aise Karni Na Kari, Pache Hanse Sab Koye
[When you were born in this world
Everyone laughed while you cried
Conduct NOT yourself in manner such
That they laugh when you are gone]
Jaise Til Mein Tel Hai, Jyon Chakmak Mein Aag Jeevat samjhe jeevat bujhay, jeevat hi karo aas,
Tera Sayeen Tujh Mein Hai, Tu Jaag Sake To Jaag Jeevat karam ki phaans na kaati, moye mukti ki aas.
[Just as seed contains the oil, fire's in flint stone
Your temple seats the Divine, realize if you can]
Jeevat Samjhe Jeevat Bujhe, Jeevat He Karo Aas Jyon Naino Mein Putli, Tyon Maalik Ghat Mahin
Jeevat Karam Ki Fansi Na Kaati, Mue Mukti Ki Aas  Moorakh Log Na Janhin, Baahar Dhudhan Jahin
[Alive one sees, alive one knows [Like the pupil in the eyes
Thus crave for salvation when full of life The Lord resides inside
Alive you did not cut the noose of binding actions Ignorant do not know this fact
Hoping liberation with death!] They search Him outside]
Kaal Kare So Aaj Kar, Aaj Kare So Ub Kabira Khada Bazaar Mein, Mange Sabki Khair
Pal Mein Pralaya Hoyegi, Bahuri Karoge Kub Na Kahu Se Dosti, Na Kahu Se Bair
[Tomorrow's work do today, today's work now [Kabira in the market place, wishes welfare of all
if the moment is lost, the work be done how] Neither friendship nor enmity with anyone at all]
Kabir Man Nirmal Bhaya, Jaise Ganga Neer Kabira Garv Na Keejiye, Uncha Dekh Aavaas
Pache Pache Har Phire, Kahat Kabir Kabir Kaal Paron Bhuin Letna, Ooper Jamsi Ghaas
[Kabir's mind got cleansed like the holy Ganges water [Says Kabir
Now everyone follows, saying Kabir Kabir] Don't be so proud and vain
Looking at your high mansion
Death makes one lie on bare land
And grass will grow thereon]
{2}Kabira Garv Na Keejiye, Kaal Gahe Kar Kes Kabira Kiya Kutch Na Hote Hai, Ankiya Sab Hoye
Na Jaane Kit Mare Hai, Kya Des Kya Pardesh Jo Kiya Kutch Hote Hai, Karta Aur Koye
[Says Kabir [Says Kabir
Don't be so proud and vain By my doing nothing happens
The clutches of Time are dark What I don't does come to pass
Who knows where shall it kill If anything happens as if my doing
Whether at home or abroad] Then truly it is done by someone else]
Maangan maran samaan hai, mut koi maangay bheek Mati Kahe Kumbhar se tu kya rondhe mohe,
Maangan say marna bhala yeh sat guru ki seekh Ek din aisa ayega main rondhugi tohe..kabira
[ The Soil(Mati) tells the Potter(Kumbhar) - you are
crushing(rondhe) me now and feeling all self-
important but there will be a time(death) when you
will be crushed by me - the word crushed is not the
exact translation its more subtle ]
Na kachhu kiya na kar saka....na karne yog sharir...
jo kuchh kiya so hari kiya...bhaya kabeer kabeer...
Pehle Agan Birha Ki, Pachhe Prem Ki Pyas Pothi Padh Padh Kar Jag Mua, Pandit Bhayo Na Koye
Kahe Kabir Tub Janiye, Naam Milan Ki Aaas Dhai Aakhar Prem Ke, Jo Padhe so Pandit Hoye
[First the pangs of separation [Reading books where everyone died, none became
Next grows the thirst for Love anymore wise
Says Kabir then only hope One who reads the word of Love, only becomes wise]
The union to materialize]

SADHU MERE SAB BADE, APNI APNI THOAR Mayaa Mari Na Man Mara, Mar Mar Gaye Shareer,
SABD VIVEKI PARKHE, SO MATHE PAR MOR Aasha Trishna Na Mari, Keh Gaye Das Kabir.

Feelings / Character Like Illusions / Hope / Mirage /

Desire / Attraction / Hate / Love / Sex Etc, (Maya)
Are Not Affected By Death, What Effected Is Our Own
Body?. This Is Said By Kabir Das That Is: You Want
Good Life Full Of Respect, Satisfaction, Peace, Health,
Death With Non-Death Let These Character Die In
Your Body So That Your Body Survive With Death
(Death With Non-Death).

Sayeen Itna Deejiye, Ja Mein Kutumb Samaye Hira Tahan Na Kholiye, Jaha Kunjdano Ki Haat
Main Bhi Bhookha Na Rahun, Sadhu Na Bhookha Jaye Sahajee Gaanthi Bandhiye, Lagiye Apni Baat
[Give so much, O God, suffice to envelop my clan
I should not suffer cravings, nor the visitor go unfed]

************************************************
I said to the wanting-creature inside me:
What is this river you want to cross?
There are no travelers on the river-road, and no road.
Do you see anyone moving about on that bank, or nesting?

There is no river at all, and no boat, and no boatman.

There is no tow rope either, and no one to pull it.
There is no ground, no sky, no time, no bank, no ford!

And there is no body, and no mind!

Do you believe there is some place that will make the
soul less thirsty?
In that great absence you will find nothing.

Be strong then, and enter into your own body;

there you have a solid place for your feet.
Think about it carefully!
Don't go off somewhere else!

Kabir says this: just throw away all thoughts of

imaginary things,
and stand firm in that which you are.
