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.

I have no quarrel with anyone.

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,

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,
