कव त Dohas (Couplets) Kaal Kare So Aaj Kar, Aaj Kare So Ub Pal Mein Pralaya Hoyegi, Bahuri Karoge Kub Tomorrows work do today, today's work now if the moment is lost, the work is done how? **************************** Jab Tum Aaya Jagat Mein, Log Hanse Tu Roye Aise Karni Na Kari, Pache Hanse Sab Koye When you were born in this world Everyone laughed while you cried Conduct NOT yourself in manner such That they laugh when you are gone

कव त Tell Me Brother Tell me, Brother, how can I renounce Maya? When I gave up the tying of ribbons, still I tied my garment about me: When I gave up tying my garment, still I covered my body in its folds. So, when I give up passion, I see that anger remains; And when I renounce anger, greed is with me still; And when greed is vanquished, pride and vainglory remain; When the mind is detached and casts Maya away, still it clings to the letter. Kabîr says, 'Listen to me, dear Sadhu! the true path is rarely found. '
