Sant Kabir Dohas
Looking at the grinding stones, Kabir laments
In the duel of wheels, nothing stays intact.
In the duel of wheels, nothing stays intact.
Tomorrow's work do today, today's work now
if the moment is lost, the work be done how
Speak such words, sans ego's ploy
Body remains composed, giving the listener joy
if the moment is lost, the work be done how
Speak such words, sans ego's ploy
Body remains composed, giving the listener joy
Give so much, O God, suffice to envelop my clan
I should not suffer cravings, nor the visitor go unfed
Just as seed contains the oil, fire's in flint stone
Your temple seats the Divine, realize if you can
Kabira in the market place, wishes welfare of all
Neither friendship nor enmity with anyone at all
In anguish everyone prays to Him, in joy does none
To One who prays in happiness, how sorrow can come
