'Mor heeraa hiraigayaa kachre men'
The diamond has been lost in the garbage.
Some search for it in the east,
some in the west,
some in water and some among stones.
Led astray by the five senses, their habits
and impulses, men are entangled in tensions;
even the gods and sages and renunciates,
are just enmeshed in their tantrums.
But, says Kabir, he has come
to realise his diamond's true cost;
he has hidden it in his heart's mantle,
And from there it won't be lost.
