Kabir loved mankind
gives lucid message
Saint Kabir's philosophy
to whole society
it gives strength to poor and weak
preaches to strong, help the weak
like tall tree of date
Kabir didn't want to be big
with no help to weak
the date tree doesn't give shelter
and it's hard to reach it's fruits
any one in your life
never underestimate
even the weakest
straw always is pressed by feet
once pierce in eyes pains too much
don't trouble a weak
whose curse is so powerful
can spoil anything
breath of the dead leather bag
blacksmith uses melts the steel
Kabir prayed to God
that his community is fed
give that much of wealth
neither his community starves
nor visitors go hungry
offer to needy
whatever you can offer
wealth will not decrease
birds take away the water
rivers don't have depletion
good people take birth
for the welfare of others
they don't live for self
like trees never eat own fruits
rivers don't drink own water
satisfy your life
within the things you can earn
and have faith in God
don't envy or be greedy
seeing other's luxury
soil says to potter
you are crushing me like this
because me is soil
the day will come
when i will crush you
Bhookhe Ko Kuch DeejiyeYathashakti Jo HoyeTaa Upar Sheetal BachanLakho Aatma SoyeOffer to the needy whatever you can. Speak sweet honeyed words to all. This is how you will come to know the eternal spirit.
*************8
don't ignore a yet a straw, which is beneath the feet
flown if pierces the eyes pains a lot
We should never underestimate any one in our life because if we think that straw always pressed by our feet then you should also keep in mind that if once a straw fly in the air and goes in your eye then it pains too much.
don't tease a weak who can curse to spoil
breath of the dead leather burns the steel
read the books the world no one became learned
two syllables of love makes one learned
saint should be like
In the word we need those gentlemen who have quality like a grain selector which keep the grain and washed the trash in the air
o god give as much i can survive myfamily
i may not be hungry on one turns hungry from my door
saint does not relinquish his gentleness millions wicked
no vemon pierce the sandal
durlabh manush janm hai deh n barambar
jyon taruwar patta jhade bahuri n lage daar
kahe kabeer dey tu jab lag teri deh
deh kheh ho jayegi kaun kahega deh

Just like a date tree No shade for travelers, fruit is hard to reach Meaning Being bid, important, poweful, wealthy is of no consequnce - Kabir likens this to a date tree that does not give shade to the traveller and its fruit is out reach.
Chalti Chakki Dekh Kar, Diya Kabira Roye Do Paatan Ke Beech Mein,Sabit Bacha Na Koye Translation Watching the grinding stones, the Light Kabir Cries Inside the Two Stones, no one survives Meaning: Kabir sees the grinding stones as the duality that we live in. Heaven and earth, Good and Bad, Male and Female, High and Low - all around is duality.
