Kabir Das Dohe
Here are some famous Kabir Das’s dohas and their meanings to share on social media:
तूँ तूँ करता तूँ भया, मुझ मैं रही न हूँ।
वारी फेरी बलि गई, जित देखौं तित तूँ ॥
Meaning: Chanting the Lord’s name constantly made me forget myself (ego), now wherever I look, I only see the almighty.
मेरा मुझ में कुछ नहीं, जो कुछ है सो तेरा।
तेरा तुझकौं सौंपता, क्या लागै है मेरा॥
Meaning: I don’t have anything of myself left within me, all that I ever owned, I dedicate to you (almighty). Now that I don’t possess anything, I am not attached to materialistic pleasures.
पोथी पढ़ि-पढ़ि जग मुवा, पंडित भया न कोइ।
एकै आखर प्रेम का, पढ़ै सो पंडित होइ॥
Meaning: Those who read books cover to cover are not real Pandits (sage, wisemen), those who chant a single name of the almighty have gained real wisdom.
बिरह जिलानी मैं जलौं, जलती जलहर जाऊँ।
मो देख्याँ जलहर जलै, संतौ कहा बुझाऊँ॥
