One Hundred Poems of Kabir/XXXVIII

by Kabir

XXXVIII

I. 50. bhram ka tala laga mahal re

bhram ka tala laga mahal re, prem kee koonjee lagaav
kapat-kivadiyaa khol ke re, yahi vidhi piy ko jagaav
kahyen kabir suno bhaai saadho, phir n lage us daav

 

The lock of error shuts the gate, open it with the key of love:
Thus, by opening the door, thou shalt wake the Beloved.
Kabir says: "O brother! do not pass by such good fortune as this."
