Hang up the swing of love today!
by Kabir
English version by Rabindranath Tagore
Original Language Hindi
Hang up the swing of love today!
Hang the body and the mind between the arms of the beloved, in the ecstasy of love's joy:
Bring the tearful streams of the rainy clouds to your eyes, and cover your heart with the shadow of darkness:
Bring your face nearer to his ear, and speak of the deepest longings of your heart.
Kabir says: 'Listen to me brother! bring the vision of the Beloved in your heart.'
I have attained the Eternal Bliss
by Kabir
English version by Sunil Uniyal
Original Language Hindi
I have attained the Eternal Bliss.
There is no time for sorrow or pain,
for now I enjoy singing His glory.
The tree of His pleasure has neither root, nor seed,
as revealed by the grace of the true Guru.
Now there is effulgence of a million suns,
my swan has dipped in the lake of His knowledge.
Says Kabir, listen, O wise brother,
Now comings and goings have come to an end.
