Tentacles of Time

By Kabir Kabir

Sadho Ye Murdon Ka Gaon

Peer Mare, Pygambar Mari Hain

Mari Hain Zinda Jogi

Raja Mari Hain, Parja Mari Hain

Mari Hain Baid Aur Rogi

Chanda Mari Hain, Suraj Mari Hain

Mari Hain Dharni Akasa

Chaudan Bhuvan Ke Chaudhry Mari Hain

In Hun Ki Ka Asa

Nauhun Mari Hain, Dus Hun Mari Hain

Mari Hain Sahaj Athasi

Tethis Koti Devata Mari Hain

Badi Kaal Ki Bazi

Naam Anam Anant Rehat Hai

Duja Tatva Na Hoi

Kahe Kabir Suno Bhai Sadho

Bhatak Maro Mat Koi

English Translation

Oh Sadhu This is the Village of the Dead

The Saints Have Died, The God-Messengers Die

The Life-Filled Yogis Die Too |

The Kings Die, The Subjects Die

The Healers and the Sick Die Too ||

The Moon Dies, The Sun Dies

The Earth and Sky Die Too |

Even the Caretakers of the Fourteen Worlds Die

Why Hope For Any of These ||

The Nine Die, The Ten Die

The Eighty Eight Die Easily Too |

The Thirty Three Crore Devatas Die

It's a Big Game of Time ||

The Un-Named Naam Lives Without Any End

There is No Other Truth ||

Says Kabir Listen Oh Sadhu

Don't Get Lost and Die ||
