KABIR’S POEMS
X
I. 121. tohi mori lagan lagāye re phakīr wā
To Thee Thou hast drawn my love, O Fakir!
I was sleeping in my own chamber, and Thou didst awaken me; striking me with Thy voice, O Fakir!
I was drowning in the deeps of the ocean of this world, and Thou didst save me: upholding me with Thine arm, O Fakir!
Only one word and no second--and Thou hast made me tear off all my bonds, O Fakir!
Kabir says, “ Thou hast united Thy heart to my heart, O Fakir!”
