Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Bhairao

The one mosque has ten doors. ||1||Pause||

So slaughter your evil nature, doubt and cruelty;

consume the five demons and you shall be blessed with contentment. ||2||

Hindus and Muslims have the same One Lord and Master.

What can the Mullah do, and what can the Shaykh do? ||3||

Says Kabeer, I have gone insane.

Slaughtering, slaughtering my mind, I have merged into the Celestial Lord. ||4||4||

When the stream flows into the Ganges, then it becomes the Ganges. ||1||

Just so, Kabeer has changed.

He has become the Embodiment of Truth, and he does not go anywhere else. ||1||Pause||

Associating with the sandalwood tree, the tree nearby is changed;

that tree begins to smell just like the sandalwood tree. ||2||

Coming into contact with the philosophers' stone, copper is transformed;

that copper is transformed into gold. ||3||

In the Society of the Saints, Kabeer is transformed;

that Kabeer is transformed into the Lord. ||4||5||

Some apply ceremonial marks to their foreheads, hold malas in their hands, and wear religious robes.

Some people think that the Lord is a play-thing. ||1||

If I am insane, then I am Yours, O Lord.

How can people know my secret? ||1||Pause||

I do not pick leaves as offerings, and I do not worship idols.

Without devotional worship of the Lord, service is useless. ||2||

I worship the True Guru; forever and ever, I surrender to Him.

By such service, I find peace in the Court of the Lord. ||3||

People say that Kabeer has gone insane.

Only the Lord realizes the secret of Kabeer. ||4||6||

Turning away from the world, I have forgotten both my social class and ancestry.

My weaving now is in the most profound celestial stillness. ||1||

I have no quarrel with anyone.

Section 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 035

I have abandoned both the Pandits, the Hindu religious scholars, and the Mullahs, the Muslim priests. ||1||Pause||

I weave and weave, and wear what I weave.

Where egotism does not exist, there I sing God's Praises. ||2||

Whatever the Pandits and Mullahs have written,

I reject; I do not accept any of it. ||3||

My heart is pure, and so I have seen the Lord within.

Searching, searching within the self, Kabeer has met the Lord. ||4||7||

No one respects the poor man.

He may make thousands of efforts, but no one pays any attention to him. ||1||Pause||

When the poor man goes to the rich man,

and sits right in front of him, the rich man turns his back on him. ||1||

But when the rich man goes to the poor man,

the poor man welcomes him with respect. ||2||

The poor man and the rich man are both brothers.

God's pre-ordained plan cannot be erased. ||3||

Says Kabeer, he alone is poor,
