Kabir - My favorite Poet.

Dukh mai sumiran kare, sukh mai kare na koi.
Jo dukh mai sumiran kare, tho dukh kahe ho hai.

" Everyone remembers god in bad times, but no one in good times, If you remember him in good times, then why should bad times should come"


Aise vaani boliye, man ka apa koi.

Auro ko sheetal kare, aapav sheetal hoi.

"Speak such words, sans ego's ploy
Body remains composed, giving the listener joy"


Bada hua toh kya hua jaise ped khajur.

panchi ko chhaya nahi, phal laage ati dur.

"What happened if you achieve heights, but you don't have sweetness and love like Khajur tree (date), which do not yield any value either by giving shelter from sunrays and also its fruits are also far away, "


Bura jo dekhan main chala.bura na miliya koy.

jo dil khoja aapna.mujse bura na koy.

"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 aab.
Pal mein pralay hoyegi, bahuri karoge kab.

"Tomorrow's work do today, today's work now
if the moment is lost, the work be done how"


Durlab manush janam hai, hua duje baar.
pakka phal jo gir pade, lage na dughe baar.

"Don't waste your human Life, You won't get it again.
Once you Die, you won't get it again."

Aache din pachhe gaye, hari se kiyo na het.
Ab pachhataye hot kya jab chidiya chug gayi khet.


"Your good days are passed away when you had energy and time to do loveand devotion to GOD. You didn’t do it at that time, what is the use of regretting now?(Famous saying – what will you do when you didn’t keep guarding your farm and birdshave eaten all your grains). All your enemies-(five enemies – lust, greed, anger, ego andattachment) have eaten all your potentials."

Mangan maran saman hai, math mango koi bheek.

Mangan sai marna bhala, ye sathguru kee seek.

"Begging is like perishing, none should go imploring
It is better to die than beg, this is pure Guru's teaching"


Kashi kaaba ek hai; ek hai ram rahim

maida ek pakwan bahut, bait kabir jeem.

"There is no difference between Kashi and Mecca, Ram and Rahim. It is like different kinds of meals prepared from the same wheat. Once we realize God, the sense of discrimination between man and man, high and low disappears."

Tinka kabahu na nindiye, paav tale jo hoye

Kabahu udd aankho pade, peed gehri hoye

"One should not abuse a blade of grass under one's feet. If that happens to strike on one's eye then there will be terrific pain."

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"


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"


Shram se hi sab kuch hot hai, bin shram mile kuch nahi
Seedhe ungli ghee jamo, kabsu nikase nahi

"Efforts can accomplish everything. Nothing can be accomplished without taking efforts. A purified butter that is frozen cannot be taken out with a straight finger."

Mana unmana na toliye, shabd ke mol na tol
Murakh log na jansi, aapa khoya bol

"When your mind is raged then you should not react to the words. One does not have any means for the valuation and weight of words. The fools do not understand this and lose their balance while talking."

Pehle shabd pehchaniye, pichhe kije mol
Parkhi parkhe rattan ko, shabd ka mol na tol

"First you should understand what has been said by others. Then you can make the valuation of the words that you have listened. A goldsmith can test the purity of gold. One does not have any means for the valuation and weight of words"

Naari purush sab hi suno, yeh satguru ki saakh
Vish phal phale anek hai, mat dekho koi chaakh

"Listen everybody to the preaching of a good preacher. There are many ways of sensual enjoyment. But one should abstain from any such way."

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"


Shabd barabar dhan nahi, jo koi jaane bol
Heera to damo mile, shabd mol na tol

"He who is good at speaking understands that there is no wealth likewords. A diamond can be purchased for a value. One do not just have any means for valuation of word."

Padha suna seekha sabhi, miti na sanshay shool
Kahe kabir kaso kahu, ye sab dukh ka mool

"One may read, listen and learn everything. But after doing all this he has confusion. Kabir is at pains to explain that confusion is the root of sorrow."

Vishaya tyag bairaya hai, samata kahiye gyan
Sukhdayi sab jeev so, yahi bhakti parmaan


"Being detached means renouncing the sensual pleasures.Knowledge means equanimity. Devotion means creating happiness for all the beings."

Parnaari ki rachnao, jo lehasun ki khani
Khoone besir khaiy, pragat hoye deewani


"A desire for other's wife is like a mine of garlic. A person can eat garlic hiding from all. But the fact of his having consumed garlic is clear to anyone who meets him."

Kabira darshan sadhu ke, karat na kije kani

Jo udham se lakshmi, aalas man se hani

"Dont shirk to meet a good person. An intoxicated or lethargic mind
causes loss of wealth."


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"

Hari ras peeya jaaniye, kabahu na jaaye khumaar.
Maimanta ghoomat phire, naahee tan ke saar.


"How will you know who is a GOD-realized soul, who has tasted the great wine, the nectar of GOD?? Kabir says you can see the symptoms – the person who has attained the community with GOD, looks like intoxicated all the time. This intoxication never comes down, he looks like insane, wanders like the same, doesn’t even bother about his body or appearance."

Ghat kaa pardaa kholkar, sanmukh de deedaar.
Baal sanehi saaiyaa, awe ant kaa yaar.


"He opens the veil within your being and shows himself  in front of you!! HE only is our true friend. At the time of our birth (here it refers spiritual birth or the moment when this creation came in existence and we as separate being came into picture) he was the only friend and when the journey of the soul has come to an end, I see him only as true friend. he has been our friend throughout our all lives, only it took whole journey from the origin to coming down this material world and going back to our source to make us realize this truth!!"

Had mein chale so maanava, behad chale so saadh
Had behad dono taje, taako bata agaadh.

"The one who is confined in limitations is human, the one who roams into unlimited, is a Sadhu. The one who has dropped both limited and unlimited, unfathomable is his being and understanding."

Jaap mare, ajapaa mare, anahad hu mari jaye
Ram snehi na mare, kahe Kabir samjhaye


"The nector of love makes us immortal"

Jis marne se jag dare, mere man mein anand
Kab maru kab paon, puran parmanad


"The whole world fears death, but death will be full of bliss for me
I am waiting for death which will merge me, into absolute bliss."


Chaah miti, chinta miti, manwa beparwaah

Jisko kuch nahi chahiye, woh Shahenshah

"if your wishes ends, than your anxiety and trouble will also end, and your mind will be fearless. One who doesn,t need anything, he is a real king
Maati kahe kumhaar se, Tu kyun rondhe moye
Ik din aisa aayega, Main rondhungi toyee

"Soil says to potter, why do you crush me. One day will come, when i will crush you "

Guru govind dono khade, kaake lagu paaye
Balihari guru aapno, govind diyo bataye


"Teacher and Lord are both there, whom to be adore. but teacher you are great, who told us that god is greater "

Sukh mei sumran na kiya, dukh mei karte yaad,

Keh kabir ta das ki, kaun sune fariyad.

"You have not thanked god in your good times, but in bad time you are remembering him, Kabir says, who will then listen to your cry "

Sai itna dijiye, ja mei kutumb samaye,
Main bhi bhukha na rahu, sadhu bhukha na jaye.


"God, don't give me too much, but enough to take care of my family, and the ones coming to me, should not go empty stomach"

Maya mari na mann mara, mar-mar gaye sharir,
Aasha, trishna na mari, keh gaye das kabir.

"Nor your wishes ends and niether your heart filled, but your body ends. Hope and desire not ended as said by kabir"

Raat gawai soye ke, diwas gawaya khaay,
Hira janam anmol tha kodi badle jaye.

"Whole of your life you spoilt and wasted your time by sleeping and eating only, but remember god has given you this birth to achieve heights, but you have made your life worthless"

Maaya taje toh kya hua, maan taja na jaye
Maan bade munivar gaye, maan saban ko khaaye.


"It's very easy to give up efforts and lose wealth. But, It's difficult to give up the ego. Even great and analytical people have fallen because of there egoto ego.It's going to kill one and all." 

Kade Abhimaan Na Kijiye Kaha Kabir Samajhaye
Ja Seer Aha Jo Sanchare Pade Chourasi Jaaye.


"Don't have ego. He who has ego is restless always."

Sabase Laghuta Hi Bhali Laghuta Se Sab Hoye
Jasa Dwitiya Ka Chandrama Shashi Lahai Sab Koye


"It's always better to be humble. humbleness is an effective way of getting results. The second day of the moon ( after the no moon day) is loved by all. "

Chhama Badan Ko Uchit Hai Chotan Ko Utpat
Ka Bishno Ka Ghati Gaya Jo Bhrugu Mari Laat.

Jaisa Bhojan Kijiye Vaisa Hi Mana Hoye,
Jaisa Paani Pijiye Taisi Vani Hoye.

Kabira Te Nar Andh Hai Jo Guru Kahte Aur
Hari Ruthe Guru Thor Hai Guru Ruthe Nahi Thor.

"Kabir says that the people who do not understand Guru are blind. If God is displeased with us then Guru is there for salvation. If he is displeased there can be no salvation. "

Kabira Dheeraj Ke Dhare Haathi Man Bhar Khaaye
Tuk Tuk Bekar Me Svan Ghare Ghar Jaaye.

"As the elephant has patience it eats till its mind is satisfied. But the impatient dog runs here and there in the hope of food."

Ghee Ke To Darshan Bhale Khana Bhala Na Tel
Dana To Dushman Bhala Murakh Ka Kya Mel.


"It is better if one can just have a chance of looking at the purified butter. It is not good to eat oil. It is good to have a sensible person as our enemy than to befriend a fool."

Kabira Garv Na Keejiye, Uncha Dekh Aavaas
Kaal Paron Punyah Letna, Ouper Jamsi Ghaas.

"Don't be proud and vain, tomorrow you'll be lying six foot under feet, on top will grow grass that goats and sheep will eat!." 

Chalti Chakki Dekh Kar, Diya Kabira Roye
Do Paatan Ke Beech Mein,Sabit Bacha Na Koye.


" Kabir finds the grinding stones as the two parts of life that we live in. Heaven and earth, Good and evil, Male and Female, High and Low - all around is duality. Life do not leave anyone. Whoever enters this duality is crushed. No one survives. Kabir cries because rarely, if ever, does one see the oneness, the divinity, behind the duality. "

Jis marne se jag dare, mere man mein anand
Kab maru kab paon, puran parmanand.


"When everyone fears the death, I enjoy it the most. But death will be full of bliss for me
I am waiting for death which will merge me, into absolute bliss"

Taake Ang Lapta Rahe Mana Me Nahi Vikar.
