Jab Tun Aaya Jagat Mein, Log Hanse Tu Roye 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] ** Kabir Man Nirmal Bhaya, Jaise Ganga Neer Pache Pache Har Phire, Kahat Kabir Kabir [Kabir`s mind got cleansed like the holy Ganges water Now everyone follows, saying Kabir Kabir] ** 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] ** Jeevat Samjhe Jeevat Bujhe, Jeevat He Karo Aas Jeevat Karam Ki Fansi Na Kaati, Mue Mukti Ki Aas  [Alive one sees, alive one knows Thus crave for salvation when full of life Alive you did not cut the noose of binding actions Hoping liberation with death!] ** Akath Kahani Prem Ki, Kutch Kahi Na Jaye Goonge Keri Sarkara, Baithe Muskae [Inexpressible is the story of Love It cannot be revealed by words Like the dumb eating sweet-meat Only smiles, the sweetness he cannot tell] ** Chinta Aisee Dakini, Kat Kaleja Khaye Vaid Bichara Kya Kare, Kahan Tak Dawa Lagaye [Worry is the bandit that eats into one`s heart What the doctor can do, what remedy to impart?] ** Kabira Garv Na Keejiye, Uncha Dekh Aavaas Kaal Paron Bhuin Letna, Ooper Jamsi Ghaas [Says 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 Na Jaane Kit Mare Hai, Kya Des Kya Pardesh [Says Kabir Don`t be so proud and vain The clutches of Time are dark Who knows where shall it kill Whether at home or abroad] ** Kabira Kiya Kutch Na Hote Hai, Ankiya Sab Hoye Jo Kiya Kutch Hote Hai, Karta Aur Koye [Says Kabir By my doing nothing happens What I don`t does come to pass If anything happens as if my doing Then truly it is done by someone else] ** Jyon Naino Mein Putli, Tyon Maalik Ghat Mahin Moorakh Log Na Janhin, Baahar Dhudhan Jahin [Like the pupil in the eyes The Lord resides inside Ignorant do not know this fact They search Him outside] ** Pehle Agan Birha Ki, Pachhe Prem Ki Pyas Kahe Kabir Tub Janiye, Naam Milan Ki Aaas [First the pangs of separation Next grows the thirst for Love Says Kabir then only hope The union to materialize] ** Jo toko kaata boien tahi boin tu phool, tooko phool ke phool hain, vaako hain tirshul [Lay flowers in the path of those who lay thorns in yours, For you those flowers are flowers, but for them the flowers are tridents] ** Bada hua to kya hua jaise ped khajoor, Panthi ko chaya nahi, fal lage ati door. [What is the use of being big and rich like a palm tree, it doesn`t provide shade to travellers and it`s fruit is too far to eat]
