One Hundred Poems of Kabir/XLIV
XLIV
I. 93. gagan math gaib nisan ude
gagan math gaib nisan ude
chandrahaar chandwaa jahn taange, muktaa-maanik madhe
mahimaa taasu dekh man thir kar, ravi-sasi jot jare
kahyen kabir piye joi jan, maanaa phirat mare
The Hidden Banner is planted in the temple of the sky; there the blue canopy decked with the moon and set with bright jewels is spread.
There the light of the sun and the moon is shining: still your mind to silence before that splendour.
Kabir says: "He who has drunk of this nectar, wanders like one who is mad."
