THE light of the sun the moonA
and the stars shines brightB
The melody of love swells forthC
and the rhythm of love's detachment beats the timeD
-
Day and night the chorus of music fills the heavensE
and Kab r says 'My Beloved One gleams like the lightning flash in the sky '-
-
Do you know how the moments perform their adorationF
Waving its row of lampsG
the universe sings in worship day and nightB
There are the hidden banner and the secret canopyH
There the sound of the unseen bells is heardI
-
Kab r says 'There adoration never ceasesJ
there the Lord of the Universe sitteth on His throne '-
-
The whole world does its works and commits its errorsK
but few are the lovers who know the BelovedL
-
The devout seeker is he who mingles in his heartM
the double currents of love and detachmentN
like the mingling of the streams of Ganges and JumnaF
In his heart the sacred water flows day and nightB
and thus the round of births and deaths is brought to an endO
-
Behold what wonderful rest is in the Supreme SpiritP
and he enjoys it who makes himself meet for itQ
-
Held by the cords of loveR
the swing of the Ocean of Joy sways to and froS
and a mighty sound breaks forth in songT
-
See what a lotus blooms there without waterU
and Kab r says 'My heart's bee drinks its nectar '-
-
What a wonderful lotus it isJ
that blooms at the heart of the spinning wheel of the universeV
Only a few pure souls know of its true delightB
Music is all around itQ
and there the heart partakes of the joy of the Infinite SeaH
-
Kab r says 'Dive thou into that Ocean of sweetnessW
thus let all errors of life and of death flee away '-
-
Behold how the thirst of the five senses is quenched thereX
and the three forms of misery are no moreY
-
Kab r says 'It is the sport of the Unattainable OneF
look within and behold how the moon beamsZ
of that Hidden One shine in you '-
-
There falls the rhythmic beat of life and deathA2
Rapture wells forth and all space is radiant with lightB
There the Unstruck Music is soundedB2
it is the music of the love of the three worldsC2
-
There millions of lamps of sun and of moon are burningD2
There the drum beats and the lover swings in playE2
There love songs resound and light rains in showersK
and the worshipper is entranced in the taste of the heavenly nectarU
Look upon life and death there is no separation between themF2
The right hand and the left hand are one and the sameG2
Kab r says 'There the wise man is speechlessW
for this truth may never be found in Vadas or in books '-
-
I have had my Seat on the Self poised OneF
I have drunk of the Cup of the IneffableH2
I have found the Key of the MysteryH
I have reached the Root of UnionF
Travelling by no trackI2
I have come to the Sorrowless LandJ2
very easily has the mercy of the great Lord come upon meH
-
They have sung of Him as infinite and unattainableH2
but I in my meditations have seen Him without sightB
That is indeed the sorrowless landJ2
and none know the path that leads thereX
Only he who is on that path has surely transcended all sorrowS
-
Wonderful is that land of restK2
to which no merit can winF
It is the wise who has seen itQ
it is the wise who has sung of itQ
This is the Ultimate WordI
but can any express its marvellous savourS
He who has savoured it onceL2
he knows what joy it can giveM2
-
Kab r says 'Knowing itQ
the ignorant man becomes wiseN2
and the wise man becomes speechless and silentN
The worshipper is utterly inebriatedB2
His wisdom and his detachment are made perfectO2
He drinks from the cup of the inbreathings and the outbreathings of love '-
-
There the whole sky is filled with soundP2
and there that music is made without fingers and without stringsQ2
There the game of pleasure and pain does not ceaseR2
Kab r says 'If you merge your life in the Ocean of LifeS2
you will find your life in the Supreme Land of Bliss '-
-
What a frenzy of ecstasy there is in every hourS
and the worshipper is pressing out and drinking the essence of the hoursK
he lives in the life of BrahmaH
-
I speak truth for I have accepted truth in lifeS2
I am now attached to truthT2
I have swept all tinsel awayE2
-
Kab r says 'Thus is the worshipper set free from fearS
thus have all errors of life and of death left him '-
-
There the sky is filled with musicU2
There it rains nectarS
There the harp strings jingleH2
and there the drums beatV2
What a secret splendour is thereS
in the mansion of the skyW2
There no mention is made of the rising and the setting of the sunF
-
In the ocean of manifestationF
which is the light of loveR
day and night are felt to be oneF
-
Joy for ever no sorrow no struggleH2
There have I seen joy filled to the brim perfection of joyX2
No place for error is thereS
Kab r says 'There have I witnessed the sport of One Bliss '-
-
I have known in my body the sport of the universeV
I have escaped from the error of this worldY2
The inward and the outward are become as one skyW2
the Infinite and the finite are unitedB2
I am drunken with the sight of this AllZ2
This Light of Thine fulfils the universeV
the lamp of love that burns on the salver of knowledgeA3
Kab r says 'There error cannot enterS
and the conflict of life and death is felt no more '-
