'শুনব হাতির হাঁচি'
       এই ব'লে কেষ্টা
নেপালের বনে বনে
       ফেরে সারা দেশটা।
শুঁড়ে সুড়্‌সুড়ি দিতে
       নিয়ে গেল কঞ্চি,
সাত জালা নস্যি ও
       রেখেছিল সঞ্চি,
জল কাদা ভেঙে ভেঙে
       করেছিল চেষ্টা--
হেঁচে দু-হাজার হাঁচি
       মরে গেল শেষটা।

III. 13. sadh sangat pitam
GO THOU TO the company of the good, where the Beloved One has His dwelling place:
Take all thy thoughts and love and instruction from thence.
Let that assembly be burnt to ashes where His Name is not spoken!
Tell me, how couldst thou bold a wedding-feast, if the bridegroom himself were not there?
Waver no more, think only of the Beloved;
Set not thy heart on the worship of other gods, there is no worth in the worship of other masters.
Kabir deliberates and says: 'Thus thou shalt never find the Beloved!'

WHEN IT WAS day they came into my house and said, 'We shall only take the smallest room here.'
They said, 'We shall help you in the worship of your God and humbly accept only our own share of his grace'; and then they took their seat in a corner and they sat quiet and meek.
But in the darkness of night I find they break into my sacred shrine, strong and turbulent, and snatch with unholy greed the offerings from God's altar.
