Abode Of The Beloved

By Kabir Kabir

Sakhiya Wah Ghar Sabse Nyara,

Jaha Puran Purush Humara

Jaha Nahi Sukh Dukh

Sanch Jhuth Nahi

Pap Na Pun Pasara

Nahin Din Reyn Chand Nahi Suraj,

Bina Jyoti Ujyara

Nahin Tahan Gyan Dhyan

Nahin Jap Tap

Ved Kiteb Na Bani

Karni Dharni Rehni Gehni,

Yeh Sub Jahan Hirani

Ghar Nahin Aghar Na Bahar Bhitar,

Pind Brahmand Kachu Nahin

Panch Tatva Gun Tin Nahin Tahan,

Sakhi Shabd Na Tahin

Mul Na Phul Beli Nahin Bija,

Bina Braksh Phal Sohe,

Oham Soham Ardh Urdh Nahin,

Swasa Lekhan Kou Hai

Jahan Purush Tahwan Kachu Nahin,

Kahe Kabir Hum Jana

Humri Sain Lakhe Jo Koi,

Pawe Pad Nirvana

English Translation

Oh Companion That Abode Is Unmatched,

Where My Complete Beloved Is.

In that Place There Is No Happiness or Unhappiness,

No Truth or Untruth

Neither Sin Nor Virtue.

There Is No Day or Night, No Moon or Sun,

There Is Radiance Without Light.

There Is No Knowledge or Meditation

No Repetition of Mantra or Austerities,

Neither Speech Coming From Vedas or Books.

Doing, Not-Doing, Holding, Leaving

All These Are All Lost Too In This Place.

No Home, No Homeless, Neither Outside or Inside,

Micro and Macrocosm Are Non-Existent.

Five Elemental Constituents and the Trinity Are Both Not There

Witnessing Un-struck Shabad Sound is Also Not There.

No Root or Flower, Neither Branch or Seed,

Without a Tree Fruits are Adorning,

Primordial Om Sound, Breath-Synchronized Soham,

This and That - All Are Absent, The Breath Too Unknown

Where the Beloved Is There is Utterly Nothing

Says Kabir I Have Come To Realize.

Whoever Sees My Indicative Sign

Will Accomplish the Goal of Liberation.
