Couplets By Kabir!!!

Chalti Chakki Dekh Kar, Diya Kabira Roye

Dui Paatan Ke Beech Mein,Sabit Bacha Na Koye



Looking at the grinding stones, Kabir laments

In the duel of wheels, nothing stays intact.





Bura Jo Dekhan Main Chala, Bura Naa Milya Koye

Jo Munn Khoja Apnaa, To Mujhse Bura Naa Koye



Searching for the wicked, met not a single

one When searched myself, "I" found the wicked one

Kaal Kare So Aaj Kar, Aaj Kare So Ub

Pal Mein Pralaya Hoyegi, Bahuri Karoge Kub



Tomorrows work do today, today's work anon

if the moment is lost, when will the work be done





Aisee Vani Boliye, Mun Ka Aapa Khoye

Apna Tan Sheetal Kare, Auran Ko Sukh Hoye



Speak such words, sans ego's ploy

Body remains composed, giving the listener joy





Dheere Dheere Re Mana, Dheere Sub Kutch Hoye

Mali Seenche So Ghara, Ritu Aaye Phal Hoye



Slowly slowly O mind, everything in own pace happens

Gardner may water a hundred buckets, fruit arrives only in its season





Sayeen Itna Deejiye, Ja Mein Kutumb Samaye

Main Bhi Bhookha Na Rahun, Sadhu Na Bhookha Jaye



Give so much O God, suffice to envelop my clan

I should not suffer cravings, nor the visitor goes unfed





Bada Hua To Kya Hua, Jaise Ped Khajoor

Panthi Ko Chaya Nahin, Phal Laage Atidoor



In vain is the eminence, just like a date tree

No shade for travelers, fruit is hard to reach





Jaise Til Mein Tel Hai, Jyon Chakmak Mein Aag

Tera Sayeen Tujh Mein Hai, Tu Jaag Sake To Jaag



Like seed contains the oil, fire in flint stone

Your heart seats the Divine, realize if you can





Kabira Khara Bazaar Mein, Mange Sabki Khair

Na Kahu Se Dosti, Na Kahu Se Bair



Kabira in the market place, wishes welfare of all

Neither friendship nor enmity with anyone at all





Pothi Padh Padh Kar Jag Mua, Pandit Bhayo Na Koye

Dhai Aakhar Prem Ke, Jo Padhe so Pandit Hoye



Reading books everyone died, none became any wise

One who reads the words of Love, only becomes wise





Dukh Mein Simran Sab Kare, Sukh Mein Kare Na Koye

Jo Sukh Mein Simran Kare, Tau Dukh Kahe Ko Hoye



In anguish everyone prays to Him, in joy does none

To One who prays in happiness, how sorrow can come
