Lift The Veil
Lift the veil
that obscures
the heart
and there
you will find
what you are
looking for
Hiding In This Cage
Hiding in this cage
of visible matter
is the invisible
lifebird
pay attention
to her
she is singing
your song
I've Burned My Own House Down
I've burned my own house down,
the torch is in my hand.
Now I'll burn down the house of anyone
who wants to follow me.
When I found the boundless knowledge
Kabir:
My mind was soothed
When I found the boundless knowledge,
And the fires
that scorch the world
To me are water cool.
The Impossible Pass
The pundits have taken
A highway that takes them
away,
and they're gone.
Kabir has climbed to
The impossible pass
of Ram
and stayed.
My body is flooded
My body is flooded
With the flame of Love.
My soul lives in
A furnace of bliss.
Love's fragrance
Fills my mouth,
And fans through all things
With each outbreath.
The Dropp and The Sea
I went looking for Him
And lost myself;
The dropp merged with the Sea -
Who can find it now?
Looking and looking for Him
I lost myself;
The Sea merged with the dropp -
Who can find it now?
Knowing Nothing Shuts The Iron Gates
Knowing nothing shuts the iron gates;
the new love opens them.
The sound of the gates opening wakes
the beautiful woman asleep.
Kabir says: Fantastic!
Don't let a chance like this go by!
When The Day Came
When the Day came -
The Day I had lived and died for -
The Day that is not in any calendar -
Clouds heavy with love
Showered me with wild abundance.
Inside me, my soul was drenched.
Around me, even the desert grew green.
O My heart! The Supreme Spirit
O MY heart!
the Supreme Spirit,
the great Master,
is near you: wake, oh wake!
Run to the feet of your Beloved:
for your Lord stands near to your head.
You have slept for unnumbered ages;
this morning will you not wake?
