jis se rahni apar jagat mein so piritam mujhe pyara ho
jis se rahni apaar jagat meñ so pirītam mujhe pyārā ho
jaise pur.ini rahi jal bhītar jal hi meñ karat pasārā ho
vā ke paanī patr na lāgai Dharki chalai jas paarā ho
jaise satī chḌhai agni par prem-bachan nā Taarā ho
aap jarai auranī ko jārai rakhai prem marjādā ho
bhau sāgar ik nadī aagam hai ahad agaah dhārā ho
kahae 'kabīr' suno bhaa.ī sādho birle utare paarā ho
More than all else do I cherish at heart that love which makes me to live a limitless life in this world.
It is like the lotus, which lives in the water and blooms in the water: yet the water cannot touch its petals, they open beyond its reach.
It is like a wife, who enters the fire at the bidding of love. She burns and lets others grieve, yet never dishonours love.
This ocean of the world is hard to cross: its waters are very deep. Kabir says: Listen to me, O! Sadhu! few there are who have reached its end.

jaise sati chDhai agni par prem-bachan na Tara ho
aap jarai aurani ko jarai rakhai prem marjada ho
bhau sagar ek nadi aagam hai ahad agah dhaara ho
kahae 'kabir' suno bhai sadho birle utare para ho
