Kabir, get drunk on love Rid the heart of duality Such a delicate path to tread Why lug a heavy load anymore?
I'm off to fill water from the well My true guru is calling out to me
Speak in hints in grazing fields So that no one should guess No one should hear, no one should know!
I’m rolling about in these waves I don’t know how to swim Take me across…
Oh my dear friend, whom should I love? Keep the company of pure-hearted ones Keep the company of clean-hearted ones
Scorch the house To make a house arise, yogi Protect it And it's gone!
In this body, the lock In this body, the key In this body, the one who Opens the door
Sweetheart, dear girl Wake up your beloved He sleeps a deep, forgetful sleep Shake him awake!
You are the sea, and I the fish I’ll stay immersed in you If you dry up, I’ll die too What would I be without you?
Kabir, this boat is wobbly And the boatmen are inept They got across who were light The heavy ones drowned
In the forest of this love, a peacock calls out My love is more beautiful than any holy place He wounded me, then forgot all about me
Fearlessly, I'll sing The praises of the formless Reality beyond description
