Shabad (Poem)- 24

'Bharam kaa taalaa lagaa mahal re'

The palace gate is locked with delusion,

You can open it with the key of love;

Thus, as you enter, awaken your Beloved,

O friend, don't let this opportunity move.

Shabad (Poem) -23

'santon yeh murdon kaa gaaon'

Friends, this is the village of the dead.

whoever comes here with his body doesn't remain

who has stayed, can any one name?

Saints have died, prophets have died,

and even the living yogis rulers and the ruled,

healers and the healed all are gone

the moon, the sun, the earth and sky-

all will die

as also the lords of all directions,

all the scriptures will also be destroyed

countless beings and crores of gods

are also entangled in the noose of Death.

Eternal is only

the One Divine Light within every one,

There's no second;

says Kabir, O wise men,

don't die in confusion.
