जिस से रहनी अपार जगत में, सो प्रीतम मुझे प्यारा हो जैसे पुरइनि रही जल भीतर, जलहि में करत पसारा हो वाके पानी पत्र न लागे, ढलकि चले जस पारा हो जैसे सती चढ़े अगिन पर, प्रेम-वचन न टारा हो आप जरे औरन को जारे, राखे प्रेम-मरजादा हो भवसागर इक नदी अगम है, अहद अगाध धारा हो कहें कबीर सुनो भाई साधो, बिरले उतरे पारा हो

More than all else do I cherish at heart that love which makes me to live a limitless life in this world. It is like the lotus, which lives in the water and blooms in the water: yet the water cannot touch its petals, they open beyond its reach. It is like a wife, who enters the fire at the bidding of love. She burns and lets others grieve, yet never dishonours love. This ocean of the world is hard to cross: its waters are very deep. Kabir says: “Listen to me, O Sadhu! few there are who have reached its end.”
