More dohas of Sant Kabir (page 3)

Dheeray dheeray ray mana dheeray sub kuch hoye,
Maali sainche sau ghada, ritu aaye phal hoye.

Jaati na poocho saadhu ki, pooch lijiye gyaan
Mol karo talwar ki padi rehen do miyaan.

Jeevat samjhe jeevat bujhay, jeevat hi karo aas,
Jeevat karam ki phaans na kaati, moye mukti ki aas.

Maangan maran samaan hai, mut koi maangay bheek
Maangan say marna bhala yeh sat guru ki seekh

Kabeer mun nirmal bhaya jaisay ganga neer
Paachhe paachhe har phiray kahat Kabeer Kabeer.
