Kabir - Dohas (Couplets) I (with translation)
Work rating: High

	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
	[I searched for the crooked man, met not a single one
	Then searched myself, "I" found the crooked one]
	**
	Kaal Kare So Aaj Kar, Aaj Kare So Ub
	Pal Mein Pralaya Hoyegi, Bahuri Karoge Kub
	[Tomorrow`s work do today, today`s work now
	if the moment is lost, the work be done how]
	**
	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
	The gardiner may water with 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 go 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
	[Just as seed contains the oil, fire`s in flint stone
	Your temple 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 where everyone died, none became anymore wise
	One who reads the word 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]
