Doha (Couplets) By Kabir, a 15th Century Sufi poet.(From Poem Hunter.com)
"Bura jo dekhan main chala, bura naa milya koyejo Jo munn khoja apnaa, to mujhse bura naa koye". Searching for the wicked, met not a single one When searched myself, "I" found the wicked one. "Kaal kare so aaj kar, aaj kare so ub pal mein paralya hoyeig, bahuri karoge kub". Tomorrow's work do today, today's work anon If the moment is lost, when will the work be done. "Aisee vani boliye, mun ka aapa khoye apna tan sheetal kare auran ko sukh hoye". Speak such words, sans ego's ploy Body remains composed, giving the listener joy. Dheere dheere re mana, dheere sub jitch hoye Mali seenche so ghara, ritu aaye phal hoye. Slowly slowly Oh mind, everything in own pace happens Gardner may water a hundred buckets, fruit arrives only in its season. |   |
