THE light of the sun the moon	A
and the stars shines bright	B
The melody of love swells forth	C
and the rhythm of love's detachment beats the time	D
	-
Day and night the chorus of music fills the heavens	E
and Kab r says 'My Beloved One gleams like the lightning flash in the sky '	-
	-
Do you know how the moments perform their adoration	F
Waving its row of lamps	G
the universe sings in worship day and night	B
There are the hidden banner and the secret canopy	H
There the sound of the unseen bells is heard	I
	-
Kab r says 'There adoration never ceases	J
there the Lord of the Universe sitteth on His throne '	-
	-
The whole world does its works and commits its errors	K
but few are the lovers who know the Beloved	L
	-
The devout seeker is he who mingles in his heart	M
the double currents of love and detachment	N
like the mingling of the streams of Ganges and Jumna	F
In his heart the sacred water flows day and night	B
and thus the round of births and deaths is brought to an end	O
	-
Behold what wonderful rest is in the Supreme Spirit	P
and he enjoys it who makes himself meet for it	Q
	-
Held by the cords of love	R
the swing of the Ocean of Joy sways to and fro	S
and a mighty sound breaks forth in song	T
	-
See what a lotus blooms there without water	U
and Kab r says 'My heart's bee drinks its nectar '	-
	-
What a wonderful lotus it is	J
that blooms at the heart of the spinning wheel of the universe	V
Only a few pure souls know of its true delight	B
Music is all around it	Q
and there the heart partakes of the joy of the Infinite Sea	H
	-
Kab r says 'Dive thou into that Ocean of sweetness	W
thus let all errors of life and of death flee away '	-
	-
Behold how the thirst of the five senses is quenched there	X
and the three forms of misery are no more	Y
	-
Kab r says 'It is the sport of the Unattainable One	F
look within and behold how the moon beams	Z
of that Hidden One shine in you '	-
	-
There falls the rhythmic beat of life and death	A2
Rapture wells forth and all space is radiant with light	B
There the Unstruck Music is sounded	B2
it is the music of the love of the three worlds	C2
	-
There millions of lamps of sun and of moon are burning	D2
There the drum beats and the lover swings in play	E2
There love songs resound and light rains in showers	K
and the worshipper is entranced in the taste of the heavenly nectar	U
Look upon life and death there is no separation between them	F2
The right hand and the left hand are one and the same	G2
Kab r says 'There the wise man is speechless	W
for this truth may never be found in Vadas or in books '	-
	-
I have had my Seat on the Self poised One	F
I have drunk of the Cup of the Ineffable	H2
I have found the Key of the Mystery	H
I have reached the Root of Union	F
Travelling by no track	I2
I have come to the Sorrowless Land	J2
very easily has the mercy of the great Lord come upon me	H
	-
They have sung of Him as infinite and unattainable	H2
but I in my meditations have seen Him without sight	B
That is indeed the sorrowless land	J2
and none know the path that leads there	X
Only he who is on that path has surely transcended all sorrow	S
	-
Wonderful is that land of rest	K2
to which no merit can win	F
It is the wise who has seen it	Q
it is the wise who has sung of it	Q
This is the Ultimate Word	I
but can any express its marvellous savour	S
He who has savoured it once	L2
he knows what joy it can give	M2
	-
Kab r says 'Knowing it	Q
the ignorant man becomes wise	N2
and the wise man becomes speechless and silent	N
The worshipper is utterly inebriated	B2
His wisdom and his detachment are made perfect	O2
He drinks from the cup of the inbreathings and the outbreathings of love '	-
	-
There the whole sky is filled with sound	P2
and there that music is made without fingers and without strings	Q2
There the game of pleasure and pain does not cease	R2
Kab r says 'If you merge your life in the Ocean of Life	S2
you will find your life in the Supreme Land of Bliss '	-
	-
What a frenzy of ecstasy there is in every hour	S
and the worshipper is pressing out and drinking the essence of the hours	K
he lives in the life of Brahma	H
	-
I speak truth for I have accepted truth in life	S2
I am now attached to truth	T2
I have swept all tinsel away	E2
	-
Kab r says 'Thus is the worshipper set free from fear	S
thus have all errors of life and of death left him '	-
	-
There the sky is filled with music	U2
There it rains nectar	S
There the harp strings jingle	H2
and there the drums beat	V2
What a secret splendour is there	S
in the mansion of the sky	W2
There no mention is made of the rising and the setting of the sun	F
	-
In the ocean of manifestation	F
which is the light of love	R
day and night are felt to be one	F
	-
Joy for ever no sorrow no struggle	H2
There have I seen joy filled to the brim perfection of joy	X2
No place for error is there	S
Kab r says 'There have I witnessed the sport of One Bliss '	-
	-
I have known in my body the sport of the universe	V
I have escaped from the error of this world	Y2
The inward and the outward are become as one sky	W2
the Infinite and the finite are united	B2
I am drunken with the sight of this All	Z2
This Light of Thine fulfils the universe	V
the lamp of love that burns on the salver of knowledge	A3
Kab r says 'There error cannot enter	S
and the conflict of life and death is felt no more '	-
