Illusion and Reality By Kabir Das!!!

Jo Dise So To Hai Nahin,

Hai So Kaha Na Jayee

Bin Dekhe Parteet Na Aave,

Kahe Na Koyee Patiyana

Samajh Hoye To Rabeen Cheenho,

Achraj Hoye Ayana Koi

Dhyave Nirakar Ko,

Koi Dhyave Aakaara

Ja Bidhi In Dono Te Nyara,

Jane Jananhara

Woh Raag To Likhia Na Jayee

Matra Lakhe Na Kana

Kahat Kabir So Padhe Na Parlay,

Surat Nirat Jin Jana


English Translation



What is seen is not the Truth

What is cannot be said

Trust comes not without seeing

Nor understanding without words

The wise comprehends with knowledge

To the ignorant it is but a wonder

Some worship the formless God

Some worship His various forms

In what way He is beyond these attributes

Only the Knower knows

That music cannot be written

How can then be the notes

Says Kabir, awareness alone will overcome illusion
