'Ghar ghar deepak barai'
Lamp burns in every house,
but the blind can't see;
who gazes steadily at that light,
is from bonds of death freed.
is anything there for you to say,
or hear or do when you die ?
if you are dead while still alive,
will there be death for you again?
The yogi in his detachment says
that his home is far away,
like the fool who climbs the palm
to look for the Lord, who's within.
House to house, the priest moves on
doling out sermons of faith,
and you holding life-drug yourself,
pray before an idol of stone.
Says Kabir, my Lord is sweet,
and He can be easily attained;
meditation or counting of beads,
virtues and sins, are no avail.
