One Hundred Poems of Kabir/LXXIII
LXXIII
III. 26. aayo din gaune ka ho
aayo din gaune ka ho, man hot hulaas
doliyaa uthaave beeja banvaan ho, jahn koyee n hamaar
payiyaan tori laagoun kaharwaa ho, dolee ghar chheen baar
mil levyen sakhiyaan-sahelar ho, miloun kuchh parivaar
daas Kabir gaavyen nirgun ho,saadho kari le vichaar
naram-garam soudaa kari le ho, aage haat n baajaar
The palanquin came to take me away to my husband's home, and it sent through my heart a thrill of joy;
But the bearers have brought me into the lonely forest, where I have no one of my own.
O bearers, I entreat you by your feet, wait but a moment longer: let me go back to my kinsmen and friends, and take my leave of them.
The servant Kabir sings: "O Sadhu! finish your buying and selling, have done with your good and your bad: for there are no markets and no shops in the land to which you go."
