Jo Dise So To Hai Nahin,
What is seen is not the Truth
Hai So Kaha Na Jayee
What is cannot be said
Bin Dekhe Parteet Na Aave,
Trust comes not without seeing
Kahe Na Koyee Patiyana
Nor understanding without words
Samajh Hoye To Rabeen Cheenho,
The wise comprehends with knowledge
Achraj Hoye Ayana
To the ignorant it is but a wonder
Koi Dhyave Nirakar Ko,

Koi Dhyave Aakaara

Only the Knower knows
Woh Raag To Likhia Na Jayee
That music cannot be written
Matra Lakhe Na Kana
How can then be the notes
Kahat Kabir So Padhe Na Parlay, Surat Nirat Jin Jana
Says Kabir, awareness alone will overcome illusion
