Maati Kahe
Maati kahe kumhaar ko, tu kya rundhe mohe
ek din aisai hoyega, main rundhungi tohe

Aaye hain so jaayenge, raaja rank fakir
ek sinhaasan chadi chale, ek bandhe zanjir

Durbal ko na sataaiye, jaaki moti haai
bina jeev ki saans se, loha bhasam ho jaaye

Chalti chakki dekh kar, diya kabira roy
do paatan ke beech main, baaki bachaa na koi

Dukh main sumiran sab kare, sukh main kare na koi
jo sukh main sumiran kare, to dukh kaahe hoy

Patta toota daal se, le gayi pavan udaay
ab ke bichde kab milenge, door padenge jaay

Kabir aap thagaaiye, aur na thagiye koi
aap thage dukh upaje, aur thage dukh hoi
​
- Kabir

​Clay says to the potter, who are you to knead me
there will be a day, when i will knead you

Everyone who is born will die some day, be it a king or a poor man.
one sits on a throne, another, a prisoner

Dont harrass the weak, there is a lot of power in curses
just like a lifeless pipe can melt a strong thing like iron.

Looking at the grinding stones, kabir laments
in the duel of wheels, nothing stays intact

Everyone remembers god in bad times, no one remembers god in good times.
if you remember god in good times, then why would you have bad times.

The leaf falls from the branch, blown away by the wind
We are separated now, when will we ever meet, distance between us
​
Oh kabir, neither con someone or get conned by someone ,
​if you con someone then you get happy but if someone cons you, you get sad
