Avishwas

Moko Kahan Dhundhere Bande Mein To Tere Paas Mein

Na Teerath Mein, Na Moorat Mein Na Ekant Niwas Mein

Na Mandir Mein, Na Masjid Mein Na Kabe Kailas Mein

Mein To Tere Paas Mein Bande

Mein To Tere Paas Mein

Na Mein Jap Mein, Na Mein Tap Mein

Na Mein Barat Upaas Mein

Na Mein Kiriya Karm Mein Rehta

Nahin Jog Sanyas Mein

Nahin Pran Mein Nahin Pind Mein

Na Brahmand Akas Mein

Na Mein Prakuti Prawar Gufa Mein

Nahin Swasan Ki Swans Mein

Khoji Hoye Turat Mil Jaoon Ik Pal Ki Talas Mein

Kahet Kabir Suno Bhai Sadho Mein To Hun Viswas Mein

Translation

Where do you search me?I am with you

Not in pilgrimage, nor in icons

Neither in solitudesNot in temples, nor in mosques

Neither in Kaba nor in KailashI am with you o man

I am with you

Not in prayers, nor in meditation

Neither in fasting

Not in yogic exercises

Neither in renunciation

Neither in the vital force nor in the body Not even in the ethereal space

Neither in the womb of Nature

Not in the breath of the breath

Seek earnestly and discoverIn but a moment of search

Says Kabir, Listen with care

Where your faith is, I am there.

This is one of best poems I ever read. This one poem describes God in the best possible way, this poem makes God a very personal God, a God who is in the belief of the devotee.

Enjoy this poem and feel Sant Kabir's depth of realization.
