WHEN THE HEART is hard and parched up, come upon me with a shower
of mercy.
When grace is lost from life, come with a burst of song.
When tumultuous work raises its din on all sides shutting me out from beyond, come to me, my lord of silence, with thy peace and rest.
When my beggarly heart sits crouched, shut up in a corner, break open the door, my king, and come with the ceremony of a king.
When desire blinds the mind with delusion and dust, O thou holy one, thou wakeful, come with thy light and thy thunder.

I.107. calat mansa acal kinhi
I HAVE STILLED my restless mind, and my heart is radiant: for in That-ness
I have seen beyond That-ness, in company I have seen the Comrade Himself.
Living in bondage, I have set myself free: I have broken away from the clutch of all narrowness.
Kabir says: 'I have attained the unattainable, and my heart is coloured with the colour of love.'

তোমার সঙ্গে আমার মিলন
      বাধল কাছেই এসে।
তাকিয়ে ছিলেম আসন মেলে--
    অনেক দূরের থেকে এলে,
আঙিনাতে বাড়িয়ে চরণ
      ফিরলে কঠিন হেসে--
    তীরের হাওয়ায় তরী উধাও
      পারের নিরুদ্দেশে।
