I.129. sakhiyo, ham hun bhai valamasi
DEAR FRIEND, I am eager to meet my Beloved! My youth has flowered, and the pain of separation from Him troubles my breast.
I am wandering yet in the alleys of knowledge without purpose, but
I have received His news in these alleys of knowledge.
I have a letter from my Beloved: in this letter is an unutterable message, and now my fear of death is done away.
Kabir says: 'O my loving friend! I have got for my gift the Deathless One.'

ON THAT NIGHT when the storm broke open my door.
I did not know that you entered my room through the ruins,
For the lamp was blown out, and it became dark;
I stretched my arms to the sky in search of help.
I lay on the dust waiting in the tumultuous dark and I knew not that storm was your own banner.
When the morning came I saw you standing upon the emptiness that was spread over my house.

হে প্রেম, যখন ক্ষমা কর তুমি সব অভিমান ত্যেজে,
            কঠিন শাস্তি সে যে।
হে মাধুরী, তুমি কঠোর আঘাতে যখন নীরব রহ
            সেই বড়ো দুঃসহ॥
