Naiharva
Naiharva hum ka na bhave
Sai ki nagari param ati sundar jahan koi jaye na aave chand suraj jahan pavan na paani, ko sandes pahunchave dard yahi sai ko sunave Aage chalo pantha nahi sujhe, peeche dosha lagave kehi bidhi sasure jaun mori sajani, biraha jor jarave vishaya ras naach nachave Bin satguru apno nahi koi jo yeh rah batave kahat kabira suno bhai sadho sapne na peetham avai tapan yah jeeya ki bhujave |
Translation
I don't feel right in my parents' place.
My lord has a city of perfect beauty where no one comes or goes, there's no moon or sun, no water or wind. Who will carry this message? Who will tell the lord of my pain? I can't see the path ahead, and going back would be a shame. Oh beloved, how do I reach my in-laws' house? Separation burns fiercely. The juice of sensuality keeps me dancing. Without a true guru no one is ours, no one can show the way. Kabir says, listen friends, seekers, even in my dream my love won't come to put out these flames. Translated by Linda Hess |
