साधो भाई, जीवत ही करो आसा ।
जीवत समझे जीवत बूझे, जीवत मुक्तिनिवासा ।
जीवन करम की फ़ाँस न काटी, मुये मुक्ति की आसा ।
तन छुटे जिव मिलन कहत है, सो सब झूठी आसा ।
अबहुँ मिला तो तबहुँ मिलेगा, नहिं तो जमपुरवासा ।
सत्त गहे सतगुरु को चीन्हें, सत्त-नाम विस्वासा ।
कहैं कबीर साधन हितकारी, हम साधन के दासा ॥
O friend! hope for Him whilst you live,
know whilst you live, understand whilst you live: for in life deliverance abides.
If your bonds be not broken whilst living, what hope of deliverance in death?
It is but an empty dream, that the soul shall have union with Him because it has passed from the body:
If He is found now, He is found then, If not, we do but go to dwell in the City of Death. If you have union now, you shall have it hereafter.
Bathe in the truth, know the true Guru, have faith in the true name!
Kabir says: "It is the Spirit of the quest which helps; I am the slave of this Spirit of the quest."
