Lamps Burn In Every House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDF GH I AJDK LM

Lamps burn in every houseA
O blind one and you cannot see themB
One day your eyes shall suddenly be openedC
and you shall see and the fetters of death will fall from youD
There is nothing to say or to hearE
there is nothing to doD
it is he who is living yet dead who shall never die againF
-
Because he lives in solitudeG
therefore the Yogi says that his home is far awayH
-
Your Lord is near yet you are climbing the palm tree to seek HimI
-
The Brahman priest goes from house to houseA
and initiates people into faithJ
Alas the true fountain of life is beside youD
and you have set up a stone to worshipK
-
Kab r says 'I may never express how sweet my Lord isL
Yoga and the telling of beadsM
virtue and vice these are naught to Him '-

Kabir
